BLAZERS +3.5 (-105)


The Mavericks are really struggling having lost two of their last three games. Portland is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games against teams winning 40% or less of their games on the road. Dallas is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and they are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 following a straight up win. In head to head matchups between these teams the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Portland may not have a great overall record on the season, but they are a respectable 22-15 at home. The Trail Blazers average 99.8 points per game on their home court and they are a solid free throw shooting team at 78.2%. They face a Mavericks team that is allowing 103.5 points per game on the road and sitting on a 14-24 road record. Dallas is poor defensively when it comes for forcing turnovers too. The Mavericks average just 14 per game. Take the points, but the oddsmakers may have favored the wrong team in this matchup. ..................
