Portland won the last three meetings last season. Portland has also won five of its last six games following Tuesday's 118-103 win over Milwaukee. CJ McCollum exploded for 40 points in the win and the Bucks suffered only their second loss in 10 games. Evan Turner added 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Trail Blazers, who shot 52.7 percent. The Blazers' defense is allowing opponents just a .427 shooting percentage and it held Minnesota to 31.2 percent in a 30-point win on Sunday. The Clippers come off two wins over Orlando and Minnesota to raise their record to 6-4 overall and 2-3 on the road. Tobias Harris and Danilo Gallinari led Los Angeles with 22 points apiece and Harris grabbed 10 rebounds. Portland is a small favorite in this matchup and its recent history in this series plus home court makes the best bet a moneyline play on the Trail Blazers.
