| The Utah Jazz Go Up Against the Portland Blazers With Confidence |
BetPhoenix is the best online sportsbook to wager on the NBA and they have the latest odds on this and all other games on the schedule. The Jazz's two-game trip didn't exactly go perfectly for 2010 lottery pick Gordon Hayward. On Monday night, Hayward sat alone in his Los Angeles-area hotel room and watched on TV as his former Butler Bulldogs performed horrifically in an NCAA national-championship game loss to UConn. On the floor, however, the trip turned into a breakout one for the Jazz swingman. On Sunday, the star of last year's Butler Final Four team scored a then-career-high 19 points and shot 8-for-14 from the field while logging 41 minutes at Sacramento. On Tuesday, he topped that high, scoring 22 points and shooting 9-for-14 as the Jazz unexpectedly beat the Los Angeles Lakers. It's the sort of showing Hayward can only hope continues when Utah plays Thursday against Portland -- the Jazz's lone home game amid a stretch with four of five on the road. But it wasn't just Hayward's breakout scoring -- he had been averaging just 4.5 points before Tuesday -- that impressed in L.A. It was also his effort while frequently matched up against Kobe Bryant, who at times seemed flustered by the Utah rookie. The Jazz are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games and the Blazers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss. The Jazz come out flat after beating the Lakers and lose to the Blazers.
