Trail Blazers at Spurs picks and predictions

Prediction

Trail Blazers 119, Spurs 115

Moneyline

I’m not confident in either of these teams securing the win, but I’ll take the TRAIL BLAZERS (+150) as they provide solid value. Both teams are trying to improve their draft position by resting starters, however, the Spurs are in a better position for the Victor Wembanyama sweepstakes.

Against the spread

TRAIL BLAZERS +4.5 (-110) is a good insurance pick in this contest considering that I took Portland to win outright. Plenty of players are expected to be out for both teams, but Portland has the slightly better lineup assuming that Johnson is out for San Antonio.

Over/Under

OVER 227.5 (-115) is the lean in this matchup as neither of these teams plays much defense. The Spurs have the worst defensive rating and the Trail Blazers have the 4th worst defensive rating in the NBA this season.

The Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings overall between these teams and 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in San Antonio.

Pelicans at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Pelicans 119, Trail Blazers 107

Moneyline

PASS.

The Pelicans are favored to win on the road against a struggling Trail Blazers squad, however, it’s not worth taking them straight up with the lack of profit you’d receive if they secure the victory.

Against the spread

PELICANS -9.5 (-115) is the pick in this contest with how these teams are performing recently. There’s a chance the Trail Blazers sit G Damian Lillard, G Anfernee Simons, and C Jusuf Nurkic as their playoff hopes are looking bleak.

New Orleans is 4-0 ATS in its last 4 games and has won each by at least 10-plus points. Portland is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 home games.

Over/Under

With the Trail Blazers likely being shorthanded, UNDER 227.5 (-112) is the play the total in this matchup. Portland plays at the 10th slowest pace in the NBA and it could be missing a few of its starters on Monday.

The Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings between these teams.

Celtics at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Celtics 120, Trail Blazers 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

Assuming that Tatum is active for the Celtics, taking them in a parlay isn’t the worst idea, but they aren’t worth taking straight up at the current -190 odds.

Against the spread

CELTICS -4.5 (-110) is how I’d bet the spread if Tatum is available to play. Boston realizes it can gain ground on Milwaukee for the No. 1 seed with a win after the Bucks surprisingly lost to the Indiana Pacers on Thursday.

The Celtics are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 road meetings against the Trail Blazers.

Over/Under

BET OVER 229.5 (-115).

Both of these teams are top 8 in offensive rating and Lillard is expected to suit up for the Trail Blazers. The Celtics are 6-1 to the Over in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record, and the Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

Trail Blazers at Hawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 124, Trail Blazers 120

Moneyline

PASS.

Despite the Hawks (-260) expected to win at home, taking them at the current odds isn’t worth the risk in this matchup.

Against the spread

TRAIL BLAZERS +6.5 (-108) is the ideal way to bet the spread despite Portland’s recent struggles. The Hawks are still getting adjusted to their new coach Quin Snyder and haven’t been playing lights out.

The Trail Blazers are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings between these clubs, and the Hawks are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following 2 days of rest.

Over/Under

Even with it being such a massive total, OVER 241.5 (-110) is the lean in this showdown. G Damian Lillard has been playing at an unbelievable level and these teams are both top 11 in offensive rating.

The Trail Blazers are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games following an ATS loss, and the Hawks are 4-1 to the Over in their last 5 games overall.

Pelicans at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Moneyline

The Pelicans have been struggling recently and they are dealing with a variety of injuries, so TRAIL BLAZERS (-120) is the pick in this game at home.

Against the spread

BET TRAIL BLAZERS -1.5 (-110).

Despite being on a back-to-back, the Trail Blazers are 17-14 at home compared to the Pelicans being 10-21 on the road this season. G Damian Lillard has been playing lights out for Portland and New Orleans is also 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games overall.

Over/Under

UNDER 233.5 (-112) is the lean in this matchup despite Lillard’s recent scoring onslaught. The Under has hit in 5 straight meetings and the Trail Blazers are 4-0 to the Under in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record.

Warriors at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Warriors 123, Trail Blazers 118

Moneyline

Even with Curry sidelined and Golden State’s woes on the road, the WARRIORS (+115) are where I’m headed. The Trail Blazers have played uninspiring basketball recently and they’ve become too reliant on G Damian Lillard to put up gaudy numbers to win.

Against the spread

If you aren’t comfortable taking Golden State to win straight up, WARRIORS +2.5 (-112) is how to wager on the spread. I’m expecting massive games from G Jordan Poole and G Klay Thompson with F Draymond Green orchestrating the offense.

The Warriors are 4-2 ATS in their last 6 meetings against the Trail Blazers. Portland is also 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Over/Under

OVER 235.5 (-108) is the easy choice here with neither team having an elite defense. The Warriors are 15th in defensive rating, while the Trail Blazers are 27th in defensive rating this season.

Golden State is 5-1 to the Over in its last 6 games overall. The Over is also 16-5-1 in the last 22 meetings between these 2 teams in Portland.

The Trail Blazers lost 129-121 to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday and fell short of covering as 3-point road underdogs. Even with the recent loss, Portland has won 5 of its last 7 games.

The Bucks beat the Blazers 119-111 in Milwaukee on Nov. 21, but didn’t cover the 9.5-point spread as the 214.5 Over cashed.

Bucks at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Bucks 122, Trail Blazers 114

Moneyline

AVOID.

Taking the Bucks (-170) at the current odds isn’t advised considering the minimal profit you’ll receive if they win. If you’re able to find Milwaukee at -150 odds or better anywhere, then it’s worth taking the moneyline.

Against the spread

With how well Milwaukee has been playing recently, BUCKS -4.5 (-105) is how I’d bet on the spread. Antetokounmpo is averaging 39.4 points, 14.7 rebounds, and 5 assists per game in his last 7 games since returning from injury, and the Trail Blazers have the 4th-worst defensive rating.

The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record and 16-6-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings against the Trail Blazers. Meanwhile, Portland is 2-7 ATS in the last 9 games following a loss.

Over/Under

UNDER 239.5 (-108) is an intriguing wager despite the Bucks playing at the 11th fastest pace in the NBA. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers play at the 7th-slowest pace in the league.

Milwaukee has gone Under in 6 of its last 8 road games. The Under is also 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between the Bucks and the Trail Blazers when the game is in Portland.

Cavaliers at Trail Blazers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 116, Trail Blazers 109

Moneyline

Even after a disappointing loss to the Jazz, I’ll side with the CAVALIERS (-150) in this contest. I’d try to get Cleveland to win at -150 odds or better if I’m taking either of these teams straight up.

Against the spread

With Allen expected to play and Rubio potentially making his season debut, CAVALIERS -3.5 (-105) is where I’m leaning. There’s also a chance Lillard isn’t 100% healthy if he’s active for the Trail Blazers.

Over/Under

OVER 220.5 (-105) is an enticing wager despite the Cavaliers playing at the slowest pace in the NBA. Both of these teams are top 13 teams in offensive rating.

The Cavaliers are 7-1 to the Over in their last 8 games when their opponent scored 100-plus points in their previous game.

Analyzing Sunday’s Portland Trail Blazers at Toronto Raptors odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Trail Blazers at Raptors picks and predictions

Prediction

Raptors 111, Trail Blazers 107

Moneyline

BET RAPTORS (-150).

Toronto has struggled at home lately but is facing a Trail Blazers team that is 0-6 straight up in its last 6 road games. Toronto’s roster comes into Sunday’s matchup healthier than it has been all season and VanVleet looks to be trending upward after scoring 28 points in back-to-back games. Look for the Raptors to take out their frustrations from recent home losses on a Trail Blazers team that is 27th in points per game on the road (108.4).

Against the spread

PASS.

This number is right where I would set the line and the cover may come down to late free throws on take fouls. The ML and the total should be safer bets in this spot.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 225.5 (-110).

The Trail Blazers do not score a lot of points on the road and the Raptors are an above-average team defensively. The Under is 5-0 in Portland’s last 5 road games and Toronto is tied with the New York Knicks for allowing the 10th-fewest points per game (111.3). Toronto’s size and ability to switch defenders should limit Portland offensively and help the Under hit Sunday.
