NBA Betting Trends

Portland

The Blazers are 6-1 against the spread in their last seven against Central Division opponents and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 overall.

Cleveland

The Cavs are 4-1 against the spread in their last five home games and 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 games against Western Conference opponents.

Prediction:

The Blazers own a 17-point win over the Cavs in January and I like Portland tonight as well. The Blazers can be a little shaky on the road, but I think they will overwhelm this Cleveland team that has nothing to play for. Portland has won three of its last four, but that was against the Knicks, Suns and Grizzlies, who are three of the worst teams in the NBA. Portland is heading up and I like the Blazers to roll the Cavs tonight.

NBA Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers -9
