Trail Blazers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 110, Trail Blazers 101
Moneyline
No surprise, but we're steering clear of the -900 ML. The Clippers have won 9 of the last 10 meetings.
During the Clippers' 3-game winning streak, G James Harden has made his presence felt with 8+ assists in each game. I like him for that again in this one. Take JAMES HARDEN OVER 7.5 ASSISTS (-110).
Against the spread
The Clippers are just 9-12 ATS this year, and they would have covered this spread once in their last 3 games. The Blazers have covered in 5 of the last 7 games. Despite being 6-15 on the year, the Blazers are 10-11 ATS on the season.
Take the TRAIL BLAZERS +12.5 (-105).
Over/Under
The Over is 6-4 O/U in the last 10 matchups between these teams. The Over is just 2-8 for the Clips over their last 10, and it's 4-6 in Portland's last 10. Neither team pushes the pace as Portland is tied for 24th, and the Clippers are tied for 22nd. The Blazers are 30th in the NBA in PPG, and the Clippers are tied for 18th. This is a smaller number, but I LEAN UNDER 220.5 (-110).
