Blazers are locking in defensively
The Portland Trail Blazers are looking to build off a 122-108 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. Deni Avdija led the team with 25 points, followed by Jrue Holiday with 24 points, and 22 bench points from Jerami Grant. Donovan Clingan also had a big night with 16 points and 14 rebounds.
The biggest story in the NBA involving Portland pertains to the gambling-related arrest of their head coach, Chauncey Billups. For now, the team is being led by interim coach Tiago Splitter.
Through the first four games, the Blazers are only 21st in the NBA in offensive rating but have shone on the defensive end, where they rank seventh. Portland is also third in the NBA from the free-throw line, knocking down 86.2%.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz Predictions:
Moneyline Pick vs. Trail Blazers vs. Jazz
- Utah Jazz +120 (5 units)
The Jazz have done a nice job of protecting their house so far, with a 21-point win over the Clippers to open the season and a solid win over the Suns on Monday. The Blazers will be playing their third straight road game after facing the Clippers and Lakers. I'll point out that both of Portland's wins this season came after catching their opponent on the second night of a back-to-back. With Utah on a 6-0 ATS run against the Blazers, I'll back the Jazz to get the outright win as a home dog on Wednesday.
Total Pick for Blazers vs. Jazz
- Over 232.5 (4 units)
Utah has shone on the offensive end early, and although the Blazers have been more locked in defensively, Portland is also third in pace, which should lead to plenty of possessions. These teams are a combined 5-2 to the over/under so far, and with the way overs have been cashing in the NBA, that's the only way I can look in this game.
