Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview 

The Portland Trail Blazers have been in a real slump as they’ve lost seven of their last nine games overall. They will be hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after falling just short to the league-leading Thunder in a 123-115 loss on Sunday. Deni Avdija led the team in scoring with a triple-double of 31 points with 19 rebounds and 10 assists, Tounami Camara added 19 points with eight rebounds and four assists while Jerami Grant chipped in with 18 points.

As a team, the Trail Blazers shot just 39 percent from the field and 16 of 49 from the 3-point line as they poured in 36 points in the second quarter to lead for most of the contest. Until the fourth quarter where they allowed 38 points to lose the game but cover the spread. 

Toronto Raptors Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Toronto Raptors look to have cooled off from their nine-game win streak as they are now looking to snap a two-game skid after getting smashed by the Knicks in a 116-94 road defeat on Sunday. Immanuel Quickley led the team with 19 points and eight assists on seven of 14 shooting, Scottie Barnes added 18 points with five rebounds and four assists while Brandon Ingram chipped in with 14 points and four assists.

As a team, the Raptors shot 42 percent from the field and 11 of 37 from the 3-point line as they dominated the second quarter by 30-18 to cut an early 24-point deficit to just three points. The Knicks responded with a pivotal 16-1 run late in the third quarter to pull away for good.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Toronto Raptors Prediction

The Trail Blazers are still missing a host of players including Scoot Henderson, Donovan Clingan, Jrue Holiday and Matisse Thybulle, while the Raptors have ruled out RJ Barrett for this one. The Trail Blazers could really do with a win to get their season back on track as they’ve lost seven of nine, but they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their narrow defeat to the Thunder on Sunday. They were absolutely right in the contest through the first 44 minutes.

The Raptors have dropped two in a row following a string of nine wins. They were humbled by the Knicks in their last outing, but I think they steady the ship with a much needed win here against this depleted Trail Blazers outfit.

Peter Tran's Pick: Toronto -4.5
