Rating: 8*

The Portland Trail Blazers knocked out the injury-ridden Los Angeles Clippers in six games in the first round of the playoffs last spring. The Blazers opened the season with a 113-104 win against the Jazz on Tuesday, and I think we'll see another high-scoring encounter tonight. Over is 14-6-2 in the last 22 meetings at Moda Center, and both teams have extremely gifted backcourts that can make it rain from behind the arc. Portland went 13-of-19 from 3-point range and 22-of-22 from the free-throw line in the opening night win, and I think we'll see good efficiency from both teams.
