The Portland Trail Blazers (36-29) wrap up a six-game road trip against the Cleveland Cavaliers (21-44) Wednesday at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Trail Blazers-Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA picks and predictions.
The Trail Blazers won the first four games of its road trip before running out of steam in a 123-114 loss in Atlanta Monday. The loss also slapped the brakes on a 4-0 ATS run for Portland. The Over has hit in four of their past five.
The Cavaliers gave the Suns all they could handle Tuesday night, eventually falling 134-118 in overtime. It was a tough pill to swallow for Cleveland side bettors catching 12.5 points. The Cavs have dropped seven in a row, and they have failed to cover in each outing.

Trail Blazers at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Trail Blazers 125, Cavaliers 104
Money line (ML)
The Trail Blazers (-650) would cost you six-and-a-half times your potential return, and that’s risky business on the road. The Cavaliers (+475) are horrible, and they’re awfully dinged up down the stretch, too. Still, AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)
The TRAIL BLAZERS -11 (-110) are laying double digits, and that’s normally super risky for a road team. But the Cavaliers +11 (-110) just played a draining, emotional game against the Suns less than 24 hours ago, and they lost in overtime. They’ll have nothing left for the boys from Rip City.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 226.5 (-110) is the lean here, although play it very, very lightly. The Cavs might have some heavy legs after playing overtime in Tuesday’s loss.
The Over is 4-1 in the past five for Portland and 4-1 in the past five on the road, too. The Over is also 4-1 for Cleveland in its past five at home and 5-1 in the past six against winning sides.
