Utah Jazz vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

We know the Utah Jazz aren’t good, but are they bad enough to pick over the Portland Trail Blazers? This is the first time since February 25 that the Trail Blazers have been considered winners of a game. It’s the seventh time since December last year that the Trail Blazers have been favored. The Trail Blazers have completely lost 6 of their last 8 games as favorites. I don’t want to have much to do with the Jazz, but seeing the Trail Blazers as the favorites is crazy. Give me the jazz and the points.
