How to make Trail Blazers vs. Jazz picks

After 10,000 simulations of Jazz vs. Trail Blazers, SportsLine's model is going Under on the total (234.5). The Under has hit in three of the last four Utah games. The Trail Blazers are 3-7 against the spread over the past 10 games, while the Jazz are 6-4 ATS in their last 10.

Portland ranks dead last in 3-point percentage, commits the most turnovers per game and is third-worst in field goal percentage, as it's a task for it to put points on the scoreboard. Utah, meanwhile, is projected to have no players reach 18 points as the Jazz are forecasted to score nearly 10 points under their season average.

It has also generated an against-the-spread pick that hits in 60% of simulations. You can head to SportsLine to see the model's NBA picks.
