Trail Blazers at Nets picks and predictions

Prediction

Nets 113, Trail Blazers 108

Moneyline

PASS.

The Nets are too expensive here, and the Trail Blazers have dropped 7 straight on the road, making their underdog moneyline value not a good play either.

Against the spread

LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS +8 (-110).

Portland hasn't covered well as of late, going 4-7 ATS over its last 11. The Nets, who started the season as one of the best covering teams in the NBA, are 2-11 over their last 13.

Their leading scorer, Thomas, has struggled immensely to score as of late. Brooklyn has lost 5 of its last 6. It is 2-3 straight up in its last 5 games at home.

Neither team has showcased much as of late, so take the underdog here. Back TRAIL BLAZERS +8 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225 (-110).

For starters, neither team ranks in the top 15 in pace, so the tempo of this game should be slow. The Trail Blazers have also had a tough time scoring as of late, notching 105 or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games and going under 100 in 2 of their last 3.

The Nets are a similar story, going under 110 in 4 of their last 5. Brooklyn is 18-17-1 O/U on the season but just 1-4 O/U in its last 5 games. With both those trends in mind, take UNDER 225 (-110).
