Los Angeles at Portland

Portland enters this game tied for the best record in the league. Per my comments on ESPN, I believe the Trailblazers are good, but a bit overrated at this time. They will continue to be one of the best teams in the league, but a regression to the mean will see them fall below the true elites (OKC, San Antonio, Miami, Indiana) long-term. Portland is all about scoring and little defense, which is why this total is set so high. While the Clippers score at will at home (112 per game), on the road they struggle a lot more (98.9 per game). Their defense is solid, even on the road, allowing 97.7 per game. Los Angeles has gone 8-1 to the UNDER this year in the second of back-to-back road games. They are also 21-10 UNDER since last season on the road after an ATS win. Take the UNDER here.
