Prediction
Clippers 115, Trail Blazers 103
Moneyline (ML)
The Clippers have won 12 of their first 13 games at home which is second-best in the NBA to the Philadelphia 76ers (10-0).
The Trail Blazers are 8-12 overall on the season and 5-8 on the road.
Los Angeles is too chalky the the -500 odds representing only a 20 percent profit on the moneyline. AVOID.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Los Angeles to win outright would profit just $2.00.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Clippers are fourth-best against the spread at home with a mark of 9-4 and come in 5.8 points per game above the cover line. Portland is 7-6 on the road against the spread but comes in 1.1 points per game below the cover line.
Back LOS ANGELES (-9.5, -106) to win by 10 or more points Tuesday. It delivers a much more enticing $9.43 profit.
Over/Under (O/U)
The projected total is set at 231.5 (Over: -106, Under: -115). Los Angeles averages 115.4 points per game and Portland averages 113.6 per contest. These are two of the higher-paced teams, with Los Angeles ranking seventh at 103 possessions per game and Portland eighth at 102.8.
Take the UNDER 231.5 (-115).
