The Utah Jazz had won 11 straight prior to the All Star break, and I think they'll keep winning when they host the Portland Trail Blazers Friday night. The recent surge have pushed the Jazz within 1 1/2 games of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but there's still a lot work to be done for them to reach the postseason.

Trail Blazers are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Utah.

My selection is an 8* play on Utah Jazz.
