Portland leads the NBA with an 11-3 ATS mark, but more significantly, the Trail Blazers own a league-best ATS margin of 6.4 points. Jusuf Nurkic is good to go, meaning Portland will have its big four available (Damian Lillard, Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons). This is the final game of the Nets' West Coast road trip, and they've been getting killed in the paint. Lay the small number.

This is more about betting against Brooklyn. The Nets are coming off losses to the Lakers without LeBron James and a 32-point blowout to the Kings. And Brooklyn is catching just a few points here. I think Portland (11-3 against-the-spread) should be closer to a double-figure favorite. I'm on the Blazers.

With Damian Lillard healthy, the Trail Blazers are a dangerous team again. The addition of Jerami Grant has also paid dividends, with him averaging 21.3 points per game. Jusuf Nurkic (thigh) is questionable, but they have a capable backup in Drew Eubanks, and the Nets don’t have a ton of depth up front. Coming off of a 13-point loss to the Lakers and a 32-point loss to the Kings, it’s difficult to envision the struggling Nets winning this game on the road.
