Just when we thought the Portland Trail Blazers were in tank mode, they go out and win a game vs. the Wizards. They come in as +12 underdogs with a unit that has something to prove; Playing time! Can they cover the double digit spread? Or will they go back to getting blown out by 50? Get Joe’s Port/Atl pick here!
If you watched the Phi/Orl game yesterday you’d have noticed that the Sixers aren’t playing good basketball right now. Shooting 43% and allowing 49% from the field is a recipe for disaster.
