Portland vs Utah Prediction: the Jazz Wants to Get Closer to the Title

Prediction for the NBA match between Portland vs Utah, which will take place on November 23d. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Chauncey Billups' team is on a really long losing streak. And if you look at the last five games, Portland has only lost by double digits. The last time the Trail Blazers failed was 107-120 to Phoenix. Before that, Portland didn't gain a hundred points in four consecutive games, losing to Utah (99-115), Cleveland (95-109), the Lakers (95-107) and Oklahoma (91-134).

The Jazz also failed in their previous game - 99-131 to the Los Angeles Lakers on the road. But before that, the Jazz had put up the most brutal resistance against Phoenix. And although they failed both times, they looked more than worthy - 128-131 and 137-140 (115-115) in two overtimes.

Utah has lost seven of the last nine games. There is no doubt, however, that Will Hardy's team will try to get closer to the championship and compete for the play-in round.

Portland always seems to lose, but they don't seem to fight for wins. Apparently, the Trail Blazers, also without some key players due to injuries, have decided to engage in the race for draft picks fully. Utah is clearly not getting the victories - their potential is much higher than to go with 4-10. The team from Salt Lake City will likely confirm their level in the upcoming game and improve the statistics.
