Utah will wrap up their five-game homestand when they host Portland on Saturday afternoon, with the Jazz desperately looking to turn things around. The Trail Blazers absolutely dominated this matchup last season, winning all four meetings, including both games in Utah. Jrue Holiday was a standout, averaging 27.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 7.7 assists across three appearances.
The Jazz are coming off another frustrating defeat, falling 117-111 to San Antonio in overtime despite Keyonte George dropping 31 points and 5 threes. Utah have now lost seven straight division games, while Lauri Markkanen remains questionable.
Portland had their three-game winning streak snapped in an ugly 124-103 loss to Memphis. Deni Avdija did his best with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but it wasn’t enough. The Trail Blazers will also be without Ja Morant for around four weeks, while Robert Williams III is questionable. Portland have owned this matchup lately, but those injury concerns could make things interesting.
PICK – Portland Trail Blazers -6.5

Philadelphia and Charlotte will both be playing their second game in as many nights when they clash at Spectrum Center on Saturday. The 76ers won last season’s series 2-1, picking up victories both at home and on the road, and they’ll be looking to keep that momentum going.
Charlotte are coming off a pretty ugly 95-79 loss to Washington, with Brandon Miller having a nightmare shooting night. Miller managed just 7-of-24 from the field as the Hornets saw their five-game winning streak against the Wizards come to an end.
Philadelphia continued their strong start with a hard-fought 98-93 win over New York. LeBron James put up 20 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, while Tyrese Maxey added 27 points in the absence of Jaylen Brown. The Sixers are now sitting at an impressive 5-1, although playing on consecutive nights could make this a tougher contest than expected.
PICK – Philadelphia 76ers -1.5

Atlanta and New Orleans will meet for the first time this season on Saturday night, with the Hawks looking to keep their recent dominance over the Pelicans going. Atlanta have won four straight meetings, including both games last season, so they’ll be feeling pretty confident heading into this one.
New Orleans finally snapped their six-game losing streak with a solid 132-120 victory over Sacramento. Jeremiah Fears was outstanding with 22 points, 8 rebounds, a career-high 13 assists and 4 blocks, while Zion Williamson added 22 points and 5 steals. Dejounte Murray is also available to return.
Atlanta pulled off a big comeback against Cleveland, erasing a 15-point deficit to win 114-111. Onyeka Okongwu dominated with 29 points and 12 rebounds, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker chipped in with 25 points. The Hawks have now won eight straight when Okongwu grabs at least 10 rebounds. Both teams are coming off big wins, making this an interesting matchup.

Memphis have been absolutely flying to start the 2026-27 season and will be looking to keep their perfect record intact when they host winless Sacramento on Saturday night. The Grizzlies already knocked off the Kings 123-112 earlier this week, so they’ll be feeling pretty confident heading into this one.
Memphis are coming off an impressive 124-103 win over Portland, with Cameron Boozer putting together a brilliant triple-double of 18 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists. The Grizzlies are now sitting at a perfect 5-0.
Sacramento had another frustrating defeat, going down 132-120 to New Orleans despite Darius Acuff Jr. dropping 34 points and 14 assists. Precious Achiuwa added 24 points and 4 steals, but the Kings have now lost 29 of their last 33 road games against Western Conference opponents. Scotty Pippen Jr. and Ty Jerome are questionable for Memphis, but the Grizzlies still look the stronger side.
PICK – Memphis Grizzlies -10.5

Cleveland and Milwaukee will renew their Central Division rivalry on Saturday night, with both teams looking to bounce back from disappointing defeats. The Cavaliers won three of four meetings against the Bucks last season, although Milwaukee did manage to split their two home games.
The Bucks are coming off an absolute beating against Houston, getting smashed 132-100 on their own court. Ryan Rollins had a nightmare shooting night, hitting just 2-of-14 from the field, while Milwaukee have now lost five of their last six games.
Cleveland blew a 15-point lead in a frustrating 114-111 loss to Atlanta. The Cavaliers have now lost four straight on the road, which isn’t exactly encouraging heading into this matchup. Jaylon Tyson is also out for Cleveland. Neither team is bringing much momentum into this one, making it a pretty tricky contest for bettors to get a read on.
