Nets vs Trail Blazers Prediction

You can make a case for either the Trail Blazers or Nets, as both teams are playing their best ball over the last month. The Trail Blazers are probably the better team at this very moment, but it’s the Nets that are at home and actually much closer toward getting in the postseason conversation. The Nets beat the Trail Blazers last month on the road, scoring 132 points in the process. The Trail Blazers have seen 19 of their 33 losses this season come on the road. I’ll lay the bucket with the Nets at home.
