New Orleans at Portland

Premium Pick

New Orleans has won two of three meetings with the Trail Blazers this season, including a 100-77 blowout win on March 14 when Portland shot just 30.3 percent and only two players scored in double figures. Portland figures to rest some players as it already has clinched a playoff spot and the Blazers come off a big 99-98 win over San Antonio on Monday as Shabazz Napier scored 32 points and Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum sat out. The Pelicans are out of the playoffs and would like to end the season on a winning note after a 108-96 loss at the Lakers Tuesday night. This is a lot of points for the Blazers to be laying in this situation and New Orleans has nothing to lose. Grab the points and play the Pelicans.
