Trail Blazers at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 110, Trail Blazers 102

Moneyline

PASS.

Cleveland will pick up the win here, but a -650 favorite is never worth the risk of betting on. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS +12 (-110).

The Blazers are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall while Cleveland is only 1-3 ATS in its last 4 overall. The Cavaliers are also 2-4 ATS in their last 6 home games while Portland is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 road games.

This is a risky play as Cleveland has been dominant ATS in recent matchups with Portland.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 218.5 (-110).

The Under has hit in Cleveland's last 2 games and has hit in 3 straight for the Blazers. The Under is also 4-1 in the last 5 Portland-Cleveland matchups. Both teams are in the bottom-3rd of the league offensively while also being in the top-half of the league defensively, meaning the Under should be a lock here.
