The Game 3 Power system Play is on Portland on the money line.. Game 548 at 9:05 eastern. The Blazers have to be dejected after blowing a huge 4th Quarter lead. However nothing brings a team down 0-2 back to life like a Home game in game 3. As seen below road teams like the Warriors are a lousy 19-34 on the blind after winning the first 2 at home in the semi final round. In fact home favorites of 4 or less with 1 day of rest that covered the spread as a road dog and scored 110 or more are 4-0 since 1995 vs a team that was a 5+ home favorite and failed to cover also scoring 110 or more. The Blazers are 3-1 at home vs the Warriors and have covered 7 of 8 at home vs a team with a .600 or better road win percentage. The Blazers have covered 4 of 5 off a loss. The Warriors have failed to cover 10 of 14 on Saturdays and 8 of 11 off a win. Look for Portland to win straight up.
