What to Know
After two games on the road, the Trail Blazers are heading back home. They will finish 2024 at home by hosting the Utah Jazz at 10:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. The Trail Blazers are expected to win (but not by much) so they will need to come into the match prepared for a fight.
The Trail Blazers are hoping to turn things around on Thursday after a slow start to the season, which is looking a lot like last year’s. They fell victim to a painful 132-108 loss at the hands of the Mavericks on Monday. Portland was surely aware of their disadvantage in the point spread, but the foreknowledge did nothing to prevent the result.
Even though they lost, the Trail Blazers smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 16 offensive rebounds (they’re ranked third in offensive rebounds per game overall). That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they’ve now pulled down at least 11 offensive rebounds in four consecutive matchups.
Meanwhile, the Jazz came up short against the Cavaliers on Monday and fell 124-113. Utah has struggled against Cleveland recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
