This is a 10* IN-SEASON GOW on the Blazers.

I love the way this one sets up for the Blazers. I'm not calling for an outright or anything, but definitely expect it to be a lot more competitive than what the oddsmakers are trying to lead us to believe.

This is the first of two here to start the In Season Tournament, and the Blazers enter having lost three straight SU/ATS. That's important to note though as dating to last year Portland is 6-2 ATS in its last eight after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row.

The Blazers also play with the immediate revenge factor, as one of those three losses was at Minnesota last week, and note that dating to last year Portland is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 in trying to revenge a SU/ATS road loss vs. an opponent.

Minnesota's three-game win streak was snapped in a heartbreaking 95-94 loss at home to Miami and I'm expecting another letdown here.

Grab the points, the play is PORTLAND.

Good luck, NP
