Portland Trail Blazers vs LA Clippers Prediction

The Portland Trail Blazers have offensive issues they have to figure out, and they’re still a young team trying to find themselves while they’re dealing with injuries. The LA Clippers have injuries of their own, but Harden and others are playing terrific basketball, and the wins will continue to pile up if that remains the case. Thick number, but I have a hard time getting behind the Trail Blazers. Give me the Clippers in a nice home win.
