Jazz at Blazers
Pick: Jazz -2
The Jazz are playing their best ball of the season winning 7 of 8 and now head to Portland who is a little banged up and isn't expected to have Brandon Roy, the team's leader with 23.1 points per game for a fourth consecutive contest. Utah has been bringing it on offense averaging 111.9 points over the last eight games. I am on the road team here with Utah minus a small spread.

Stephen Nover Wednesday winners:
50-Dime Oklahoma City Thunder
Improved defense and the continued emergence of Kevin Durant into superstar status has helped transform Oklahoma City into a legitimate playoff contender in the super competitive Western Conference.
The Bulls are a mediocre team from the inferior Eastern Conference.
The Thunder has the second-best pointspread mark in the NBA at 27-17. Oklahoma City has taken care of business against inferior competition covering 10 of the past 13 times versus teams with a below .500 record.
Durant has been unstoppable scoring 25 or more points in 18 consecutive games. The spread, though, isn't that high because the Bulls are playing their best ball having won their last three games, upset road wins against the Spurs, Suns and Rockets.
Kudos to the Bulls for that achievement. But the combination of Oklahoma City being the better team, Chicago having a cluster injury problem and the scheduling dynamics make the Thunder a very attractive favorite in this pointspread range.
This is Chicago's sixth consecutive road game in 10 days and fourth road outing in six days. Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson are battling plantar fasciitis, backup center Brad Miller has a sore knee and point guard Derrick Rose is fighting through a severe illness.
The Thunder, by contrast, is healthy and well-rested having last played on Saturday. The Thunder rank fifth in scoring defense and second in defensive field goal percentage. The Bulls are going to have problems scoring in their depleted, worn-out condition especially after posting three improbable road wins in a row.
25-Dime New Mexico Lobos
Few if any teams have the kind of home-court edge New Mexico has when playing in "The Pit."
BYU found this out first-hand last year when it lost 81-61 at New Mexico. The Lobos have won 21 of their past 22 home contests. They have covered 70 percent of their past 51 home contests, including going 8-3-1 ATS this season in "The Pit."
The Lobos' bench has been playing well lately. This allows them to constantly keep full pressure on the Cougars, who are due for a letdown.
BYU has played a weak schedule. New Mexico is 3-0 straight and ATS versus ranked opponents this season.
15-Dime Utah Jazz
I can't see the Trail Blazers beating a hot Utah squad without star guard Brandon Roy.
The Trail Blazers have been able to hang in despite losing their two centers, Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla. But Roy is their best player and key.
The Jazz have won eight of its last 10, going 8-0-2 ATS during this time frame. Utah is 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven away matchups versus a team with a winning home mark.
Because of Portland's multiple injuries, Trail Blazers coach Nate McMillan has had to juggle his lineup. He's gone with Steve Blake and unheralded rookie Jeff Pendergraph as starters the past two games.
But for this matchup, McMillan is returning Jerryd Bayless and Juwan Howard to the starting lineup. The Trail Blazers are tough at the Rose Garden, but their personnel minus Roy doesn't match up to the Jazz. Deron Williams and Carlos Boozers are the two best players on the floor.
This is Utah's lone road contest during a seven-game stretch. Portland is playing for the fourth time in six days.
