Wizards at Trail Blazers picks and predictions
Prediction
Trail Blazers 123, Wizards 115
Moneyline
The TRAIL BLAZERS (-150) are moderate favorites worth playing straight up if you don’t want to mess around with laying the points in a potentially close game.
Against the spread
TRAIL BLAZERS -3.5 (-105) is the lean here, although it will likely be nip and tuck all the way down until the clock reaches zeroes.
The Wizards +3.5 (-115) have struggled with the Blazers in recent seasons, going 1-7 ATS in the past 8 in the series. And if you’re worried about Portland because it just played Monday, the Blazers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games when working on no rest.
Over/Under
OVER 235.5 (-105) is the play, and it has been the dominant trend for the Blazers, going 5-1 in the last 6 games at home. The Over is also 4-1 in the last 5 against losing teams, while going 4-1 in the preview 5 meetings in this series, too.
