NBA Betting Odds – Portland at New Orleans
Our Sportsbooks: Two of the best young teams – and two of the best ATS teams – in the league will meet tonight when the Portland Trail Blazers, (25-16 SU, 26-15 ATS, 17-23-1 O/U) travel to the ‘Big Easy’ to face the New Orleans Hornets, (28-12 SU, 25-14-1 ATS, 17-23 O/U) in a contest between two of the most surprising teams in the league this season.
The Trail Blazers have alternated wins and losses in each of their last six games, all road contests, but still has an opportunity to finish their trip with a winning record by picking up a victory over the Hornets in this contest.
New Orleans has won five straight games coming into this matchup – and more importantly for BetUS.com NBA bettors – is the fact that the Hornets have also covered the spread in each of their five games.
The Blazers beat the feisty Atlanta Hawks 111-109 in overtime on Monday as Travis Outlaw drained the game-winner from 20-feet, while the Hornets routed the free-falling Milwaukee Bucks 106-92 on Monday.
The teams have played three times this season with the Hornets taking the first game 113-93 on Nov. 2 while the Blazers have won the last two, 93-90 on Nov. 7 and 88-76 on Dec. 17
Here’s a look at tonight’s key trends followed by my NBA Betting Free Picks:
Key Blazers Trends
The Trail Blazers are 5-0 ATS in their last five when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.
The Trail Blazers are 10-1 ATS in their last eleven after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.
The Trail Blazers are 7-1 ATS in their last eight vs. NBA Southwest.
Key Hornets Trends
The Hornets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a S.U. win.
The Hornets are 9-0 ATS in their last nine games following a SU win of more than ten points.
The Hornets are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a favorite.
Key Totals Trends
The Over is 4-0 in Trail Blazers last four road games vs. a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600.
The Over is 5-0 in Trail Blazers last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
The Over is 4-0 in Hornets last four games as a home favorite.
The Over is 4-0 in Hornets last four home games.
Key Head-to-Head Trends
The Home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings.
The Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in New Orleans.
Analysis: Even though the Hornets are in the midst of a five-game winning streak and will be playing at home in this contest, I like the hungry Trailblazers to cover the spread in this game, if not win outright.
