Offensively, Utah is putting up 108.7 points per game while shooting 46 percent from the field. Donovan Mitchell is leading the team with 22.5 points and 4.0 assists per game. Rudy Gobert is adding 15.0 points and 12.9 rebounds per contest.
Blazers rolling as well

NBA Betting Trends
Utah
The Jazz have covered the spread in six straight Wednesday games and in five of its last seven conference games.
Portland
The Blazers are 8-0 against the spread in their last eight when playing on 3 days or more of rest. Portland is 5-2 against the spread in their last seven conference games.
Prediction:
Portland just earned a 109-104 win at Utah last week and the Blazers come into this game well rested. While the Jazz have been winning games, they haven’t been covering consistently like Portland. The Blazers have put up 120 points or more in four of their last six games I think they can continue their hot offense tonight against Utah, despite the Jazz being a good defensive team. The Blazers don’t need to cover many points, so I will stick with Portland at home.
NBA Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers -1.5
