Friday, December 21 finds the Utah Jazz meeting up vs. the Portland Trail Blazers as they meet for the first time in the 2018-19 regular season. Utah last played Wednesday in a win versus the Golden State Warriors. The Trail Blazers also played Wednesday, defeating the Grizzlies.

Last season, the teams split the season series. The Jazz holds the all-time record having bested the Blazers in 100 of their 185 matches.

Utah Jazz

Through the past 10 games, the Jazz are 5-5 and vacillate back and forth between solid offensive outings and being unable to generate anything.

In his second season, Donovan Mitchell is under far more scrutiny as opponents make him a priority in their defensive game plans. Therefore, the Jazz is severely limited on nights when no one else generates offense.

On Wednesday, five other players scored in double digits to help Donovan and it resulted in a victory over the reigning champion Warriors. Joe Ingles led the way with 20 points.

Raul Neto (right thigh soreness) missed the last four games and is questionable versus the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Portland Trail Blazers

After bursting out of the gate to start the season 12-5 the Blazers suffered a bad stretch going 3-8 in their next 11 games.

Notably, the Blazers seem to suffer their biggest issues on the road where they are 6-9. During the rough schedule segment when they went 3-8 they lost all six on the road.

Since returning home the Blazers have won three in a row. In the most recent win versus the Grizzlies, Damian Lillard led the way with 24 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds.

It was a low scoring game (99-92) especially after the Blazers put up 132 in their defeat of the Clippers the game prior.

Anfernee Simons remains sidelined with an upper respiratory infection and has no definitive return date.

Free Utah Jazz vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:

Portland boasts the 7th best offense but rank 18th defensively. Alternatively, the Jazz rank in the bottom tier of talent with the 24th ranked offense, but after a slow start are getting back on track now tied with the Raptors in 7th defensively.

In fact, through their last 10 games, the Jazz have the third best defense trailing only the Pacers and Thunder.
