Portland Trail Blazers vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers are obviously the better team, and the line is going to be more inflated at home. I get it, and a comfortable win wouldn’t be shocking, as this team is stacked with experience and talent. However, the Trail Blazers have been impressive through 2 games, taking the Timberwolves down to the wire and smoking the Warriors. The Trail Blazers are a young team on the rise and have picked up where they left off in the second half of last season. This is a scrappy bunch eager to prove themselves. You’ll make money on the Trail Blazers this season. Give me the points.
