    Portland +4.5 at home???
    Why does Portland get no respect from the oddsmakers?

    Is Brandon Roy healthy? Shouldn't it be -4.5 for Portland?

    I don't understand why teams like Utah, Houston, Portland, Denver, (quality Western Conference teams) are ever underdogs at home.

    I don't even think the Lakers or Cavs should be favored on the road against a team like Portland...

      You answered your own question here.... Public is reacting to early injury report on Roy... since he now appears to be active for tonight, watch the line drop back down.

        If some guy I've never heard of can play out of his mind and lead the Jazz to a win over the Cavs, I'm sure a Roy-less Blazer team can get a victory over a struggling Magic team. With or without Roy, +4.5 and small ML play...

          POR is one injury away from recruiting the first 10 fans through the door.

            +5.5 was a gift earlier today, still see some value in taking them @+4.5

              Yeah I am also taking POR +4,5. They surely have many injury problems but Orlando is so inconsistant that they shouldnt be favorites in any away games.

                    I agree. Oden, Pryzbilla out. Dwight Howard is going to abuse them like he abused Sacramento on Wednesday. Juwan Howard has been playing heavy minutes at center for the Blazers.

                      You can never bet against any ROY I say. So take the Blazers at home for the win. And howard cant abuse any1 offensively. I dont know who has a worse offensive game Superwoman(Howard) Ben Wallace or sorry mbenga who doesnt belomg in the NBA or any basketball court

                            What is the latest on Roy? I see he is still a game time decision. He says it still feels the same as Wednesday night, after a shoot around today.

                              Im not the authority on portland but Orlando just got waxed in Denver and has lakers next. I think we see some sense of urgency tonight from the magic.
