Los Angeles at Portland

Premium Pick

Los Angeles had a come-from-behind overtime win against New York, but then had several defensive lapses in losing to Milwaukee, which shot 54.2 percent while beating the Lakers 131-116 on Tuesday and Giannis Antetokounmpo made 17 of 20 shots. Fortunately for the Lakers they're up against the Trail Blazers, who have lost six in a row and eight of nine, and don't have injured Damian Lillard in then lineup. Portland is 0-6 ATS its last six games, including an 18-point loss to Orlando on Tuesday, and the Magic have the second-worst record in the league. The Lakers have won and covered the last two meetings and they are 5-0 ATS their last five games playing on no rest. The Trail Blazers are 1-4 ATS with no rest and 0-4 ATS their last four home games. Take the Lakers.
