Home opener for Portland who won their first 2 games as away favorites and are now coming off a loss at Milwaukee, a game they pushed. New Orleans hosted Golden St on Friday, played at the Lakers Sunday is now in their second game of this 3 game road trip. The Pelicans got their first win vs the Lakers as they shot 57% after shooting 38% and 47% their first two game and they will struggle against the Blazers D which allowed 32% and 45% their two game as a favorite. Besides Davis and Cousins, New Orleans doesn't have much help and their guards turn the ball over a lot. The Pelicans just beat the Lakers who are a team who doesn't play much defense. Now, Portland will be playing its first home game, and the home team has dominated this series and should win big tonight!
