The Portland Trail Blazers will look to push their winning streak to three-games tonight. The Los Angeles Clippers will be looking to win their fourth game in a row. Game odds via PointsBet.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Clippers (-3) Total: 220.5
The Portland Trail Blazers have yet to win a road game this season. They are 0-4 ATS and on the Money Line. One of those losses was a 30-point defeat vs. the Clippers earlier this season at the Staples Center. The Trail Blazers returned the favor a few nights later with a 19-point victory over the Clippers in Portland. Paul George scored 42 for the Clippers that night; the only other Los Angeles player to score in double-digits was Luke Kennard.
There is no doubt the Trail Blazers have been a better team at home on the year then they have been on the road. At the Moda Center, the Trail Blazers are 5-1 on the Money Line and 4-2 ATS. Their troubles have come on the road. Tonight is the first of a four-game road trip for the Trail Blazers. They will be making stops in Phoenix, Houston and Denver as well as tonight in Los Angeles. This trip will be a good early season test for the Trail Blazers.

I don’t think this game will be a blowout like the last game in Staples Center. This will likely be a one possession game. I favor the Clippers on the Money Line. In an ideal world, I like the Clippers at -2.5. If I see that number tonight, I’m getting it. If not, I’m on the Clippers’ Money Line currently at -145 on PointsBet.
These two teams are a combined 13-6 to the Under on the season. Both of their previous games have gone Under the Total. On the season, there have been three games with a closing Total of 220.5. The Under has cashed in two of those three games.
Edge: Under 220.5
