The Portland Trailblazers have lived in the fast lane in the early going. They take on Indiana at home with their 14-4 record on the season, and are on an 11-1 run over their last 12 games. The Pacers have dealt with injury issues all season, but will have Roy Hibbert back for this one. The good news for Indiana is that they got 57 points off the bench in their last game, and that puts them in line for a back-door cover here at the very least. Portland will leave for a five-game road trip after this one, and it looks too easy, and mentally they may have already left. The Pacers have fared well off a spread loss as they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven when following one. Portland is seeing the line catch up with their hot streak, and they've covered just one of their last five, and Indiana owns an impressive 14-6 ATS mark in the last 20 meetings, despite losing the last five in Portland straight-up. Grab the points on Indiana.
