LA Clippers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
This is a massive game, as it could decide who gets the eighth seed in the west. It feels like the Trail Blazers are getting the nod because they’re at home, but the value is with the points and the Clippers. The veteran team that’s turned their season around has lots of guys who have been on the big stage and survived playoff-atmosphere-style games. These Trail Blazers are young and sometimes look like the moment is too big. The Trail Blazers blew a huge lead to the Nuggets and couldn’t survive a backup Spurs team. The Clippers are an old veteran team that knows how to win big games. Give me the bucket.
