Trail Blazers see opportunity to make move, starting with Jazz game

The Portland Trail Blazers have an opportunity to climb the standings by hosting eight of their next 10 games.

Portland looks to begin that stretch on a positive note when it hosts the Utah Jazz on Monday night.

The Trail Blazers have momentum, having won four of their past five games, beginning with an impressive 114-108 victory over the Boston Celtics.

The last three were on the road and Portland went 2-1 and put together a strong effort in Saturday's 115-110 takedown of the San Antonio Spurs.
