The Trail Blazers are coming into this game with a 27-54 record overall and they are 17-23 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They have lost 14 of their last 15 games and are coming into this one on a 10 game losing streak. Their last win was against the Detroit Pistons while their 10 losses since then have come against the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets twice, the Oklahoma City Thunder, the New Orleans Pelicans, the Spurs again twice, the Thunder again, the Pelicans again, and the Dallas Mavericks in their last game.

The Jazz are coming into this game playing well recently and they are coming into this game off of a loss in their last game but they had won 2 straight prior to that and they do not have any key players that will be missing this game either. They will likely give their players some rest here but they will also likely play still in order to stay heated up for the playoffs and they are going up against a Trail Blazers team that has been awful in their recent games. The Trail Blazers have lost 14 of their last 15 and their last 10 straight coming into this one. They were even underdogs by almost 20 points in their last 2 games and they still failed to cover the spread, losing each game by over 30 points. They are coming off of a loss against the Mavericks by 50 points and they really have no one playing in these games as all of their starters and most of their bench has been out for the last few weeks. The Jazz could start their bench in this game and they would still win by over 20 points with how bad the Trail Blazers have been. The Jazz will finish their season off with a win here by 20 points or more.

"We had six assists in the second half. The ball stopped moving. We gave up something. When you don't have efficient possessions offensively, it becomes much more difficult for us to defend." - Quin Snyder on his team’s loss against the Suns on Friday night.

 

 

"I thought we played hard for the most part. We just couldn't make shots. Against this team, you've got to keep up with the scoring." - Chauncey Billups on his team’s loss against the Mavericks on Friday night.
