Trail Blazers vs Lakers Prediction

The Lakers should get the benefit of the doubt at home, and they’re playing well through three games, but I’m taking the bucket with the Trail Blazers. I was high on the Trail Blazers entering the season, and through two games, they look good. The Trail Blazers made the playoffs last season with this young core, and they got even better with a proven and explosive back court. I’m going to side with the Trail Blazers a lot this season in the underdog role because there’s legit upside with this team that could be a problem in the West come playoff time. Give me the free bucket with Portland in what should be the game of the day.
