Indiana Pacers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers should be the favorite as they're the better team with the rest advantage, but they can also still be shaky at times defensively, and it's scary to lay chalk with them most nights. The Trail Blazers aren't a team I believe in, but they've won eight of their last 10 games, and they've covered nine of those games. The Trail Blazers just beat the Suns twice, and they beat the Magic and Bucks before that. I'm not sure what's gotten into the Trail Blazers lately, but it's noteworthy and it's making money. Will the shoe drop soon? Probably. I'm still going to lean toward the buckets with the Trail Blazers given this recent win and the confidence the players are showing.
