In the first meeting between the teams on Jan. 8, the Jazz prevailed 131-118. Look for more of the same — take the Jazz by a bucket and the over.

Shoutout: Yesterday, we asked subscribers to predict the winner, score, and high scorer in the 76ers-Trail Blazers game. Portland won 118-114 and Joel Embiid had a game-high 35 for Philly.

No one had the Blazers (including Sports Section; whoops, at least we nailed the over). But kudos to Michael Alper (@mikealper) for predicting Embiid would lead all scorers.

Keep the picks coming!
