Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Trail Blazers went five years without being a double-digit favorite. This will be the sixth time this month where they’re laying a double-digit number. It lets you know where the NBA is right now. So many tanking teams. The Trail Blazers are coming off back-to-back blowout wins over teams not trying to win and this should be more of the same. The Trail Blazers have a chance to move into that eighth seed and improve their chances at a playoff berth. Can’t afford to blow games like this. The Mavs still have some guys who are out there competing but at this point in the season it’s a battle of the teams not playing for anything and the teams making that last-second push. Give me the Blazers in a blowout home win.
