AAA's THURSDAY NIGHT NBA "ART OF THE GAME!"
(NBA) Portland vs. New Orleans,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 Portland (Away)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* ART OF THE GAME on the Portland Trailblazers.

It's now or never for the 0-2 Blazers. We've been on Portland over the first two games and so far the difference has been the Pelicans' tough defensive play on Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Portland has a big body to throw at Anthony Davis (Nurcic), but the key will be to slow down Rondo. We have a hard time though seeing Lillard being held down for a third straight game. Portland has the talent to get right back in this series and that's exactly what we're expecting to witness tonight. Note that Portland is 22-16 ATS on the road, 16-11 ATS as an underdog and 7-4 ATS after playing three consecutive home games, while New Orleans is just 19-21 ATS at home. Clearly the outright, straight-up isn't out of the question, but in the end we'll recommend grabbing the points. Play on PORTLAND.
