Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Trail Blazers should win this game off of talent alone, but they’re a young team still learning how to deal with expectations. The Blazers are also coming back home after a five-game road trip and played last night. Also, the Trail Blazers are a double-digit favorite for just the 11th time since COVID. We just don’t see the Blazers and these numbers often and despite how bad the Nets are, I’m not buying these lines. This feels like too many points. Give me the Nets.
