Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
I really thought the Trail Blazers had a good chance to break their slump against the Magic at home on Tuesday.
Summing up, Boy, was I wrong.
Trail Blazers Have No Momentum
The final score doesn’t look terrible with Portland losing by just three points, but they were 8.5-point favorites for a reason.
To begin with, Damian Lillard is questionable, Gary Payton remains questionable and there’s not much reason to believe in a team having lost four in a row and eight of its last 11 straight up.
On the other side of this matchup, Cleveland has lost two out of three straight up but continues to exploit defenses via Donovan Mitchell and Co. And the team is getting additional reinforcements in Ricky Rubio, likely starting Thursday.
To clarify, Cleveland looks like a team competing for home-court advantage in the playoffs, while the Blazers suddenly look like a team scraping to get in.
All that considered, give this one to the road Cavs both straight up and against the spread.
