I was on the Over in this matchup a couple days ago but in round two I'll go Under. Damian Lillard went off for 50 and the teams combined to shoot 47 of 51 on free throws Tuesday. With the increased familiarity, look for another high-scoring game, but one that stays under this massive total.

One of the best comebacks of the season took place two nights ago as the Trail Blazers stormed back from a 17-point deficit to defeat New Orleans. The deflating loss by the Pelicans should give Portland an edge on Thursday. Expect the Trail Blazers to take advantage and post another victory.

It took a late comeback and a monster performance from Damian Lillard for the Blazers to pull off a one-point win when these two teams met in Portland on Tuesday. That also marked the first time that CJ McCollum had played in two months. He struggled in the game, scoring just 10 points on 3-for-11 shooting from the field. As he continues to round back into shape, this is a favorable spot for the Blazers to get another win against the Pelicans, who are a dreadful 5-13 on the road.
