Point Spread: -5.50 | -110.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Win
Play: Portland Trail Blazers
Rating: 8*
The Portland Trail Blazers were one of the biggest surprises in the NBA last season. Their backcourt consisting of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum scored almost at will at times, and I think Utah will find it tough to match up with Portland offensively. The Blazers limited the Jazz to just 37 percent shooting from the floor in the last meeting, and Utah could be without its top two scorers from last season for this contest with Gordon Heyward and Derrick Favors questionable with injuries.
