Utah Jazz -350
Portland Trailblazers +400
Denver Nuggets +550
Minnesota Timberwolves +4000
Oklahoma City Thunder +7500

Analysis: The race for the Northwest division title won’t have much drama to it as the Utah Jazz are clearly the best and most formidable team in the division, as well as it’s only true conference title contender.

Led by all-stars, Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer – and a plethora of talented and unselfish veteran contributors – the Jazz could challenge for the conference crown as they have in each of the past two seasons.

While the Portland Trailblazers are undoubtedly headed in the right direction with young stars Brandon Roy LaMarcus Aldridge leading the way, the Blazers are at least another year away from really challenging the Jazz for division supremacy.

Rookie center Greg Oden will help the team reach the postseason after falling just short last season, but expecting anything beyond that, is a bit much if you ask me.

The Denver Nuggets, surprisingly, offer online hoops bettors just the third-best odds in the Northwest, but I understand why oddsmakers have put them in their current position as the Nuggets play almost no defense whatsoever.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will improve 22-win 2007-08 record, but nowhere enough to actually reach the postseason.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are also headed in the right direction with its young trio of Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and rookie point guard Russell Westbrook, but are at least two or three seasons away from making a playoff appearance.

In short, BetUS Sportsbook bettors can bank on the Utah Jazz winning this division by approximately five games over their closest purser!

Take the Jazz to strut their stuff while winning the Northwest division in 2008-09!
