Tuesday NBA sees an intercontinental battle between the road Charlotte Hornets and the home Portland Trail Blazers.
Portland enters this contest coming off a two-point loss to the back-to-back defending Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors. But as of late, this team has started turning things around, going for three wins in its last four outings.
The Hornets, on the other hand, are losing some momentum as of late. They’ve dropped four straight to the Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Warriors and Washington Wizards after winning three in a row to break another cold streak.
The Blazers opened as 4.5-point favorites; that number is down to three at this juncture.
*All statistics, rankings, standings and records are accurate as of this writing at 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Jan. 26.
Charlotte Hornets
The Hornets enter this contest as the 16th-highest scoring team in the NBA. They are posting 105.2 points per night.
Defensively, Charlotte is allowing opponents to score 103.6 points per game. That number is good enough for eighth in the league.

Against Portland, expect Kemba Walker to have a big night. The now-All-Star is having a great season already, but he should look to take full advantage of an opposing backcourt that struggles to contain most guards — let alone All-Star-caliber ones.
In Charlotte’s last meeting with the Blazers, Walker was able to go for 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting (4-of-8 from the three-point line).
The Hornets took that contest, 107-85.

Portland Trail Blazers
Portland lost the last outing against this Eastern Conference foe, but Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum were able to do some damage of their own.
On the night, Lillard went for 21 points, seven rebounds and six assists; McCollum collected 18 points and four steals.
As nice as those lines look in a vacuum, you must consider that they shot a combined 14-of-36 from the field and 4-of-12 from the three-point line.
This team is going to need a more efficient showing from its backcourt in order to live up to the current three-point line they have in their favor.

Defensively, the Blazers give up 110.2 points per night — a number that is only good enough for 27th.

Don’t expect this one to be a blowout, but it’d be surprising to see Charlotte come into the Moda Center and come away with a win straight up or ATS considering their recent struggles and Portland’s recent success.
