Portland

Portland has been about as average as you can get at home this season going 10-10 SU and 10-10 ATS. They’re averaging 104 points per home game, while allowing 103 against.
This Portland team is very young, but have shown many signs of life this season behind Damien Lillard and CJ McCollum. The duo has been the spark plug to this team on both ends of the floor.

The Lakers having to deal with a back to back is not a good situation for this young, injured team.
With Los Angeles giving everything they have at home, against one of the best in the NBA on Friday then having to deal with a youthful Trail Blazers team the next day is going to be tough.
Look for the Trail Blazers to run and get out in transition against Los Angeles on Saturday and have a significant advantage there.
