Indiana Pacers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
The Indiana Pacers can’t afford to blow this game at home and are the better team, but they’re also still injured, don’t play defense, and they’re 7-10-1 ATS. The Portland Trail Blazers aren’t winning games, but they’re a young team that plays hard, and they’re 10-7-1 ATS. I don’t trust the Pacers to get enough stops to cover these massive lines, and the Trail Blazers are making bettors money up to this point. Give me the points.
