Portland Trail Blazers vs Utah Jazz Picks and Predictions for Saturday October 31 2026
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz Best Bet
You know, I’m still taking Portland in this one. Yeah, I saw what Memphis did to them Thursday. They got beat 124-103, and it wasn’t pretty. But come on, before that game Portland had scored 124, 128 and 136 points. You don’t just forget how to score because you had one lousy night. Memphis caught them, beat them up a little, and now everybody’s wondering if Portland was any good to begin with. I wouldn’t go that far. Get ready for all the action with our free NBA picks.
Besides, they’re playing Utah. Have you seen what the Jazz have been giving up? The Lakers scored 132 on them. San Antonio got 117. Even Memphis put up 110. I mean, who are they stopping? Portland already scored 136 against the Lakers, so we know they can get going when a defense gives them room. And Utah has been giving teams plenty of room. That’s what I’d worry about if I were betting the Jazz.
Now, I’ll give Utah this much. They’re at home, Portland has to travel, and the Blazers might still be a little rattled from that Memphis game. I get all that. But I just don’t see Utah getting enough stops. Maybe the Jazz hang around for three quarters. Maybe they even lead for a while. Wouldn’t surprise me. But sooner or later Portland is going to put together a run, and I don’t trust Utah to answer it every time.
Best Bet: Portland Trail Blazers Moneyline
Give me Portland to win. I’m not laying some crazy spread on them after Thursday, but on the moneyline? Yeah, I’ll take that. I think the Blazers bounce back, get their offense going again, and Utah spends most of the afternoon trying to keep up. That’s really what this pick comes down to. I trust Portland to score more than I trust Utah to stop them.
