Josh Gayle's Premium Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz Pick

1u - Blazers 1H Moneyline (-136 @ Barstool) (Bet $136 to collect $236)

We don’t bet on this market most of the time. I never bet full-game spreads because I’ve seen too much funky stuff that flip-flops outcomes, but betting exclusively on the 1H makes it a little easier to stomach. The Blazers are the better team here, don’t let the records fool you.

Portland has dealt with injuries this year to their best players and Utah has been generally healthy and overachieving. Portland has already faced Utah and that game was without Damian Lillard and Josh Hart. Portland led the 1H of that game by nine points!

Portland led by nine at the half against Utah on the road. Now, they have their best player back in action and are at home. Portland is significantly better at home with a 12-10 record and seems to rally behind their fans. This game spread of -3 is fine but I like just taking them moneyline at some juice. If they tie it’s a push which gives us some room for error as well. Let's roll!
