Portland is playing a back-to-back, but it's 13-6-2 ATS its last 21 games playing with no rest, and the Trail Blazers have covered the spread seven in a row against teams with winning records. Los Angeles is 2-5 ATS its last seven games and just 3-8 ATS its last 11 home contests. The road team has covered six of the last seven meetings, and the Blazers are looking to extend their 12-game winning streak after beating Detroit 100-87 on Saturday night for their ninth cover in a row. The Clippers have lost two straight, including Friday's 121-113 defeat at Oklahoma City after losing at Houston the night before. Portland won the first meeting 104-96 on the road Jan. 30 in a game where neither team shot well. Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum both had off-shooting nights against the Pistons making a combined 14 of 35 from the field, and still the Blazers won and covered. That's a good sign for tonight's matchup. Play the Trail Blazers.
