Both teams are looking to win their first game since the all-star break. Both teams will also be factoring in that this is the first game of a double header.

Kyle on the NBA 3 point Contest: When I saw the announcement that Buddy Hield was going to be in the 3-point contest, I could not find the odds fast enough… But I was not expecting to find a 4/1 waiting for me, and it’s yet another reason why sportsbooks always beat the public.

Not a series but in one game at home on a February 13th? Bookmakers give the Blazers about a 2 to 1 shot. Kyle Cash offers his NBA prediction.
