Trail Blazers at Clippers picks and predictions
Prediction
Clippers 113, Trail Blazers 109
Moneyline
The Clippers (-375) will set you back nearly 4 times your potential return, if you want to bet them straight up.
Including LA in your parlay is also a poor idea, as even with a win it sucks all of the value out of your ticket.
PASS.
Against the spread
Play TRAIL BLAZERS +8.5 (-110), as they won the first meeting outright.
The Clippers -8.5 (-110) are on fire, going 8-1 ATS in the past 9 games, but they also lost outright to Portland.
The Blazers are playing with confidence, and the offense has the tools to keep it close.
Over/Under
OVER 221.5 (-105) is worth a look.
The Over is 3-2 in the past 5 games for the Clippers, but don’t get carried away. The Under is 6-1 in the past 7 games at home for LA.
For the Trail Blazers, while the Over is 2-1 in the past 3 outings, the Under is 7-2 across the past 9 outings dating back to Nov. 13.
