Sunday’s NBA Prediction
PORTLAND, OR (TheSpread) – The Portland Trail Blazers look to get a key win in the West when they host the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Here is a breakdown of my pick for this game.
Portland is 17-16 on the season and 11-3 at home. The Blazers have won just 5 of their last 10 games. Houston is 16-16 on the year and 6-11 on the road. The Rockets have won 8 of their last 10 games.
Oddsmakers from online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have released their odds for this game and they have made the Blazers a 3-point favorite at home. The over/under total has been set at 198.5 points. Here are some trends to consider and my pick for tonight’s game:
Houston Rockets vs. Portland Trail Blazers, 9PM ET (View Matchup)
Portland is just 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games following a win while Houston is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. I like a pick of Houston on the road despite the Blazers strong home record because Houston is the hotter team and getting points.
