Orlando at Portland

Premium Pick

Orlando is slowly building the type of NBA season of which Championships are made. They are #2 in FG% offense, and are #1 in FG% defense. That makes for a lethal combination, but it also shows they are getting it done on both ends of the court. Portland is quickly showing why they are one of the worst teams in the NBA. They are near the middle of the pack in offense, and nearly dead last in FG% defense. Portland has given up 100+ in 8 of last 10, while managing to reach the century mark just two times themselves. It is easy to see why they are not only losing, but losing ATS, as they have managed just two covers in their last ten games as well. This is the type of game that requires a team like Orlando which generally shows up on both ends of the floor, to dominate on either offense, or defense, and still win the game.
