The Portland Trail Blazers hit the road for Delta Center in Salt Lake City to meet the Utah Jazz in Saturday matinee action. That's a 1 p.m. local time start for the Jazz, and an internal clock start time of noon for the Blazers. Expect to see a little bit of a sluggish start in Saturday's game, mainly due to the early tip time. Players are creatures of habit, and these early tips aren't it.
The Blazers cashed in a 124-103 loss at home to the Memphis Grizzlies last time out, but be careful, as the Over has cashed in both road games for Portland. For the Jazz, they've dropped three in a row, and four of five games, while the Under has connected in each of the past two outings. The Utah offense has scored 111 or fewer points in three of its outings, and the defense has allowed 119 or fewer points in three of the past four games. It won't be a defensive slog, but go low on the high total, especially due to the early tip time.
Under 231.5 (-105) at time of publishing. Playable to -115.
