Overview:
In the Western Conference of the NBA, Portland Trail Blazers will be trying to go up against Utah Jazz in the regular season on Christmas. Portland Trail Blazers are one of the perennial contenders for the playoff spot. The team has done just enough this season to remain in the top-7 but they are not safe at all. With the competition in the Western Conference thickening, it is apparent that the team needs to level up their playstyle to match their own expectations. They do have one superstar in the ranks in Damian Lillard but he himself alone can’t carry the burden of this franchise.
Meanwhile, Utah Jazz are trying to recover from the mid-season tumble the team took. They do have wins over the likes of Golden State Warriors, but the side is nowhere near consistent enough to mount a real charge at titles. If they are going to make any significant gains in the league table, it will be down to the upcoming fixtures. The mindset of the players has to be in the right place and coach Quin Snyder will be asserting this very notion in the locker room.
