Portland is the seventh seed in the West, winning four of the last five. That included a 117-108 win of this Dallas squad last week. Guard Damon Lillard celebrated being named to the All-Star team with 31 points on Wednesday in a 123-114 win over Minnesota and is averaging 28.8 points on 53.3 percent shooting over the last five games. Portland is third in the NBA in three-point shooting, and sixth from the charity stripe. The Blazers are 7-3 ATS against a team with a losing record. Dallas is battling Sacramento for last place in the West, with a losing record both home and away. The Mavs are #24 in the league in scoring and have lost seven of the last 10, including losing three times as chalk. Take Portland.
