Los Angeles at Portland

Los Angeles will be in an angry mood after losing to lowly Charlotte last night as the Hornets went on a 22-1 run in the third quarter and LeBron James missed two 3-point tries right before the buzzer to give Charlotte a 100-97 victory. Look for the Lakers to bounce back as James and Luka Doncic get more comfortable playing on the same team. Portland has lost three in a row by an average of 19 points and didn't cover the number in any of them. The Trail Blazers are 0-6 ATS after allowing more than 125 points their previous game. The Lakers have covered the past four meetings and Portland has lost 15 of 20 outright against Pacific Division opponents. The Trail Blazers have gone OVER six of eight versus the Western Conference and the Lakers have gone OVER six of eight on the road. Portland is 4-0-1 OVER its past five against teams with .600 winning percentages. Los Angeles is on a 6-2 ATS run. Take the Lakers and the OVER.
