Los Angeles at Portland

Portland has probably been the most inconsistent team in the NBA. Ironically, they have been highly predictable as a result. You just have to know which way the see-saw is teetering. Their season can be broken down ATS in five segments. They began 6-1 and in the process went 1-0 as a favorite. They then proceeded to go 0-8, and were 0-3 as a favorite. They got hot again, and went 17-3, and 8-1 as a favorite. They followed by going 4-17, and 1-9 as a favorite. They have now gone 8-4, and 3-0 as a favorite. When they are down, they are 4-25 ATS and 1-12 ATS as a favorite. When they are up, they are 31-8 ATS and 12-1 ATS as a favorite. They are up now! As for the Clippers, they are bad and simply can't win. They have covered just three of their last 15, and in their last 13 road losses, ten have come by double-digits, with the average loss by 17 ppg. Riding the Blazers who are on the up-swing, and when they are, they cover everything in sight.
