Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers Injury Report

The Nets will be without Bojan Bogdanovic, Trendon Watford, Cameron Johnson, D'Angelo Russell, Cam Thomas, and Maxwell Lewis.

The Trail Blazers won’t have Matisse Thybulle or Jerami Grant. Robert Williams III and Deandre Ayton are questionable for the Trail Blazers.

Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Portland Trail Blazers should be favored at home, as they're the better team and have seen eight of their 13 wins come at home. However, it's still weird seeing the Trail Blazers in the favorite role regardless. This is just the third time this season the Portland Trail Blazers are favorites. The Brooklyn Nets are in tank mode and one of the more injured teams in the league. Still, I'm not trying to lay points with the Trail Blazers. It also doesn't help to see Grant, Williams, and Ayton on the injury report. The underdog has covered eight of the last 10 games between the Nets and Trail Blazers. Give me the points with Brooklyn if forced to pick.
