Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
Come on.
The Portland Trail Blazers may be operating a mini tank. Damian Lillard has struggled with health this year. So has Jusuf Nurkic. They shipped off a number of productive veterans to acquire future focused assets at this year’s deadline.
Anfernee Simons has been a pleasant surprise for the Blazers in 2021-22. The young guard’s Most Improved Player candidacy is about the only positive the Blazers can take away from this season. They’re not built to handle a group like the Jazz.
If the Jazz lose tonight, something went horribly wrong.
Prediction: Jazz 122, Blazers 106
