Portland Trail Blazers vs Los Angeles Lakers Prediction
The Trail Blazers are a young, scrappy team that’s not getting the results it wants, but has been in these games. A bounce here or a bounce there, and the Trail Blazers are in a much better spot. This line is what it is because the Lakers are on the end of a back-to-back and down their two best players. Still, I’m grabbing the free bucket. The Trail Blazers have to prove they can close games, and Reaves is coming off the game of his life. There’s experience on this Lakers roster capable of grinding out a win. The value is with the Lakers in this spot.
