Portland Trail Blazers vs Utah Jazz

Lauri Markkanen Points Prop is currently Over/Under 26.5 (-115/+107).

The money has been on the Over as it opened 26.5 @ +105 before it was bet up to 26.5 @ -115.

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE OVER:

Lauri Markkanen has averaged an impressive 27.9 points per game this season, significantly more than his 19.0 points per game last season.

The Utah Jazz have played at the 3rd-fastest pace in the league over the last 25 games.

The Jazz have been the 10th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore produce added opportunities for scoring and assists).

FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

When it comes to 3-pointers, the Utah Jazz's feeble 33.1% rate of converted threes while playing on the road rates 3rd-worst in the league this year.

The matchup against the Trail Blazers is a tough one for 3-pointers; opposing starting PFs have posted the 4th-lowest three rate in the NBA this year (29.6%).

The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 7th-slowest pace in the league over the last 10 games, which should lead to fewer possessions for the Jazz.
