Saturday’s Best NBA Preseason Bets: Trail Blazers vs. Jazz

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Utah Jazz
The Blazers defeated a team from New Zealand to Preseason preseason. However, they lost 122-111 to the Suns in their only NBA preseason action. Portland’s expected to be a bottom-tier team this year after trading away Damian Lillard. However, Scoot Henderson looks electric, and the starting lineup looks better than some want to let on. They’ve even got Malcolm Brogdon coming off the bench with Kris Murray and Mattise Thybulle.
On the other hand, the Jazz have so much depth. Talen Horton-Tucker lit it up in his last game despite the Jazz losing to the Clippers 103-98. They traded wins and losses with the Clippers in the Preseason. Still, the loss came against the Clippers with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George playing.
I love the depth of both of these teams. But the Blazers intrigue me a bit more.
Bet: Blazers +3.5 (-110)
