Cleveland Cavaliers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Cavaliers are getting the benefit of the doubt because of what they’ve done this season both SU and ATS, but this line is a bit off when you consider what they’ve done over the last week and the fact there’s no Mitchell. The Trail Blazers keep playing hard, winning games, and they’re a profitable 41-30-1 ATS on the season. The Trail Blazers are also just three games out of a play-in spot, so there’s motivation to keep trying to win games. The Cavs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. The Trail Blazers took the Cavs to overtime on the road earlier this month. Give me the Trail Blazers and the points.
