This NBA betting preview of the Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz is courtesy of SBG Global where the opening Line: Jazz - 2 , Total TBA
The Portland Trail Blazers will try and bounce back from a heartbreaking loss on Tuesday as they visit the Utah Jazz on Thursday. The Blazers blew an eight point lead in the last 2 minutes against Orlando and lost as Hedo Turkoglu banked in a three-pointer at the buzzer. "Our offense was really bad the last minute and a half," said guard Brandon Roy, "It's a tough loss but tomorrow's a new day." Portland has won four of its last five games on the road. SBG Global reports that early NBA betting has the public taking Jazz at Home.
The Jazz used to be unbeatable at home but have lost three of their last six games at home. The Jazz have been hurt by injuries to their two best players. Guard Deron Williams missed 13 of the team's first 15 games and although he is back, forward Carlos Boozer is out. He has missed the last two weeks and won't return until Saturday at the earliest. Utah is 6-5 without Boozer in the lineup. Paul Millsap has been picking up the slack for the Jazz, averaging 16.9 points and 10.8 rebounds in his last 10 games. He had his ninth straight double-double in Utah's 99-96 win over Minnesota on Tuesday, the 20th anniversary of head coach Jerry Sloan's time with the Jazz.
Here are the NBA betting stats for Thursday's game. The Trail Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. The Trail Blazers are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Utah between the two teams.
