Brooklyn at Portland

The beginning of the season was filled with high hopes for the Brooklyn Nets, but they started out poorly. Meanwhile the upstart Portland Trailblazers were the talk of the league with their surprisingly fast start. The worm has certainly turned as the recent picture shows the Nets have been much the better team at 16-7 in their last 23, while Portland is just 8-9 over their last 17. I think we get a dog here with some bite as the Nets are beating the elite teams at 5-1 ATS in their last six vs. a team over .600. The Blazers have become an over-valued team, especially at home where they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games. The Nets are on the rise and are a live dog, so play them here.
