The Utah Jazz are looking to win their 8th straight home game, and in their way stand the Portland Trail Blazers who have dropped 5 in a row. I’ve prepared a same game parlay, which you can find below.
We also have predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s 12-game slate.
Let’s jump into the Blazers vs Jazz game now!
Bojan Bogdanovic 4+ made threes (+230)
Donovan Mitchell over 3.5 rebounds (-128)
Mike Conley over 4.5 assists (-144)
Parlay odds: +827
Bojan Bogdanovic 4+ made threes (+230)
Bogey has been on fire from three-point land lately, connecting on 4 threes in 3 of his last 4 games. The highlight of that run was in the game against Oklahoma City where he scored 11 threes on 18 attempts, setting a new NBA record for made threes without a made 2-pointer in the same game. He’s shooting 48.8% from distance in the month of March which is an increase of over 17% compared to February. That kind of shooting should be sustainable against a team like Portland. The Blazers rank only 29th in the NBA in opponent three-point percentage, allowing teams to shoot 37% against them.

Donovan Mitchell over 3.5 rebounds (-128)
Mitchell is averaging 4.2 rebounds per game over his last 10 games and he’s finished with 4 boards in both of his previous 2 games against the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder. Without Jusuf Nurkic the Blazers have almost no inside presence right now and it showed in their last game against Minnesota, where the Timberwolves grabbed 67 rebounds. Over their last 3 games, they are giving up 59.3 rebounds per game while grabbing only 8 of them on the offensive end. Mitchell and co. will have plenty of opportunities to improve on their season averages here, and he can hopefully get to 4 boards quickly.
Mike Conley over 4.5 assists (-144)
Conley is averaging 5 assists per game in his last 9 games while playing less than 27 minutes per game. He finished with exactly 6 dimes in both games against the Blazers earlier this season which is promising ahead of tonight’s game. With so many injuries to the Portland roster, he is likely to match up with inexperienced point guard Brandon Williams which is a welcome sign for our bet. I can definitely see him getting to at least 5 assists here as he feeds both Mitchell and Bogdanovic on the perimeter, as well as Rudy Gobert on the inside against a very thin Blazers front line.
