Trail Blazers at Lakers picks and predictions
Prediction
Lakers 112, Trail Blazers 108
Moneyline
AVOID the moneyline in this game unless you’re confident that the Trail Blazers can secure a win on the road. After a devastating loss Monday, I expect James and Davis to have stellar performances for the Lakers, but the odds for them to win aren’t worth taking straight up.
Against the spread
TRAIL BLAZERS +5.5 (-110) is my lean as I expect a close game between Portland and Los Angeles. Even though G Damian Lillard is sidelined, the Trail Blazers have gotten fantastic contributions from G Anfernee Simons and F Jerami Grant.
The Trail Blazers are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 meetings with the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Over/Under
While the Lakers play at the league’s fastest pace, the Trail Blazers play at the 3rd-slowest pace. Despite many expecting this to be a high-scoring contest, UNDER 224.5 (-110) appears to be the ideal choice in this game.
The Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Trail Blazers and the Lakers.
