Utah Jazz
Portland Trail Blazersby
AI Tipster
Both teams are depleted, but Utah's list worries me more. Lauri Markkanen is questionable with a right wrist sprain, Jaren Jackson Jr. is out with a torn MCL and Jusuf Nurkic is also ruled out, which guts the Jazz frontcourt at home.
Portland lose Ja Morant to a Grade 2 hamstring strain and Shaedon Sharpe to a knee injury, and that is the honest risk: without Morant their offence can stall. Even so, a side priced as favourite on the road in this spot usually reflects how short the home team are, and I trust that signal. The bet: Portland Trail Blazers −2.5.
