Wizards at Trail Blazers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Trail Blazers 124, Wizards 117
Money line (ML)
The TRAIL BLAZERS (-160) are worth playing on the money line if you don’t want to mess with the points. The spread shouldn’t be a problem, although the Wizards (+135) come in on a rare heater. Washington has won and covered three in a row, while Portland enters on a six-game win and cover streak. Something’s gotta give, and it’s best to back the home side in this one.

Against the spread (ATS)
The TRAIL BLAZERS -3.5 (-115) have covered six in a row, including each of their past three games at home from Feb. 9-12, all against Eastern Conference teams. The Blazers downed Washington 132-121 Feb. 2, as three-point underdogs. You can expect a similar result in this one, as the Blazers cool off the Wiz in Rip City while staying hot against the number. Portland is 4-0 ATS in its past four against Washington, too.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 242.5 (-110) is the play in this one, as this number is just way too high. Yes, the teams did combine for 253 points back on Groundhog Day in the nation’s capital, but the Under is 4-0 in Washington’s past four on the road and 5-2 in the past seven as an underdog. The Over has connected in five of the past six for Portland, and it’s 4-1 in the past five overall, but the Under is 16-6 in the past 22 for the Blazers against teams with a losing record.
