Trail Blazers vs Lakers Prediction

The Lakers are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, but I’ll continue to grab free buckets with the Trail Blazers. I said from opening night that I was high on these Trail Blazers, and here they are with a 6-1 SU record and 5-2 ATS. The Trail Blazers also already beat the Lakers this season and have actually won 4 of the last 5 games against them overall. This is a deep Trail Blazers roster that’s first in scoring, fifth in offensive field goal percentage, and top 10 in defensive field goal percentage and defensive three-point percentage.

Even without Ja Morant, the Trail Blazers will have value in the underdog role. This team is deep and solid at both ends of the floor. It’s also hungry to build on what they did last season. Give me the points with the Trail Blazers.
