Portland Trail Blazers vs LA Clippers Prediction
The Clippers should get the benefit of the doubt, especially now that they’re getting healthier. However, we’re getting a decent number of points with a Trail Blazers team that’s winning and needs to keep doing so to improve its playoff chances. Also, while the Clippers are winning lately, they’re 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10 games. The Trail Blazers have cashed 40 tickets. This is a big game for both sides, who are fighting for play-in tournament positioning, and I want the points in my pocket. Give me the Blazers.
