As bad as the wizards are on the road, 9.5 points is alot to be giving up to a pro team. Especially in the 1H.
The Wizards avg. 48.3pts giving up 54.9 in the 1H
Avg Margin -6.6
Blazers avg. 49.2 surrendering 56.2 in the 1H
Avg Marg 7.o
Average power rating of opponents played:
WASHINGTON 96, PORTLAND 95.7
Thats a whoopin 2.5pt edge over the current 1H line. I'll take that any day.

Play On - Road teams vs. the 1rst half line (WASHINGTON) - terrible defensive team - allowing 103+ points/game on the season against opponent after scoring 85 points or less.
