After averaging more than 53 wins a season, including the playoffs, for the last three years, the Portland Trailblazers have suffered a steep drop in 2016. Portland comes into this game with a 17-23 record on the season. A bigger problem is that they will be facing an angry Cleveland team that lost last night to Utah 100-92. Portland is just 4-9 in their last 13 games. They beat the Lakers twice, Minnesota, and Sacramento, all bad teams, as they have dropped six straight games to a winning team. Portland has been brutal in games with high totals this season as they are 11-20 ATS when the total is 210 or higher. Lay the points on Cleveland.
