Free Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
The Trail Blazers won back-to-back games at home against the Dallas Mavericks a week ago now and Rip City was hoping that was an official slump-buster following five straight losses and 10 losses in their last 13.
But the two games since have been a nine-point road loss to the Denver Nuggets and then a 10-point home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Portland Not Off the Schneid Just Yet
On the other hand, the Lakers aren’t world-beaters, but they’ve won two of their last three, including a one-point win over the super-legit Memphis Grizzlies in their last outing.
Trusting either of these teams is tough right now, but the Lakers are the ones trending in the right direction.
Give this one to the road team both against the spread and straight up Sunday night.
