Why bet the Trail Blazers:

✅ The Trail Blazers are a tough team to beat at home, and this is a matchup we’ve seen a few times already this season. It usually ends up bring a battle between Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard, who are two of the best players in the entire league, regardless of age. In Portland, I will almost always favor the Blazers against teams that don’t play great defense. Especially when they come in as underdogs.

✅ The Trail Blazers are actually the more efficient team, ranking higher in FG%, 3PT%, and FT%. It’s not by a huge margin, but this won’t be a game where the Trail Blazers are outclassed. They also won’t have to deal with much of an interior presence, which is often their kryptonite.

✅ The Trail Blazers have been playing as more of a team lately, and the resurgence of Carmelo Anthony has been a big help. Gary Trent Jr. has become a solid three-point shooter and he’s comfortable guarding the best player on the floor. I’m a big fan of this Trail Blazers team in this game and am willing to lay two units on them.

✅ Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

✅ Trail Blazers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog.
