Prediction

Jazz by 13

 

Jazz are back home and should be able to handle this easily if they play their game. Jazz by 8.

 

It should be a very cool matchup between Zach and Boozer. Both are MVP Candidates, aren't they, atm. And they have about the same playing-style.

Since Portland isn't a good team and the Jazz have played great this year AND Utah is playing at home = Blowout, Utah wins by 23.
