11+ mon, 3+ week ago (349+ words) The Portland Trail Blazers are favored to win Friday night against the Utah Jazz. It's an unusual occurrence, to be sure. But not unexpected. The Jazz (4-17) are not good. Utah ranks 26th in offensive rating (108.8) and 29th in defensive rating (119.0) for a net rating of minus-10.3 (28th). The Blazers are at minus-8.1 (27th). However, the Jazz rank sixth in offensive rebounding percentage (32.8%). Defensive rebounding is a weak spot for the Blazers, who rank last in defensive rebounding percentage (65.6%). The Jazz have lost five consecutive games. Their biggest problem has been Lauri Markkanen's poor shooting. He appeared in four of those recent losses and shot 38.7% from the field and 23.5% from three-point range while averaging 17.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Prediction: The Blazers got this. The Jazz appear very interested in getting a shot at landing Duke freshman forward Cooper Flagg in the 2025 NBA draft. The…...
