Against the spread (ATS)
Orlando is on a rough run against the spread lately. They have covered the spread only once in its last six games and, in those five ATS losses, all have been double-digit deficits. Portland has covered the spread in four of its last six games, although it has the second-lowest home cover percentage in the league at 20%.
Take the BLAZERS -6.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
Both Orlando and Portland’s games go Over more often than not (Orlando at a 52.2% Over rate, Portland 54.5%). Four of the last five and seven of the last nine games for Portland have gone Over. Three of the last four and five of the last seven for Orlando have gone Over.
Take OVER 221.5 (-110).
