T.M. Selection: Blazers.

The Lakers are locked in for the post-season and will have little interest in this game. They just want to stay healthy and get ready for the playoffs. The Trail Blazers will take advantage at home and should dominate this one with LA being disinterested. Portland is off home loss to Golden State but had won 12 of 17 home games prior to this. In their season finale, at home and having lost all 3 prior meetings with the Lakers this season, the expectation here is a massive effort for Portland with a solid home win as the end result. Lay the price here to avoid any disappointment if the win is by very slim margin.

T.M. Prediction: Blazers 113-108.
