NOTES: Both teams sat starters. Portland held out F LaMarcus Aldridge, who had an MRI exam on his sore left foot on Friday, and G Arron Afflalo, out 1-2 weeks because of a right shoulder injury. Aldridge's injury is not serious. "We thought it was best to hold him out and let him recover," coach Terry Stotts said. ... Utah, playing the second of back-to-back games after an 89-88 loss to Memphis on Friday, rested F Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors. The Jazz, who started three rookies, wanted to get a long look at their young players. "That is the agenda," rookie coach Quin Snyder said. "It's really simple. Any way we can use a game to get better, we're going to try to do it. I want to give these guys things to work on, put things in their minds, play different combinations and see where it takes us." ... If the Blazers close out the season 3-0, they will match their 2013-14 record of 54-28. ... The Jazz have played the Blazers tough this season, beating them 92-76 and losing 103-102 and 92-89.
