Portland has established themselves as a player in the NBA West and enters this one at 15-7, but has yet to taste defeat at home as they are 7-0 on the season. The Blazers are learning that playing both ends of the floor lead to wins in the NBA and overall they have done a great job on the defensive end. They have played five straight UNDER the total at home, while the defense has been suffocating opponents. The Blazers have allowed just 79.5 points per game in their last four at home. The Magic know a little about playing defense themselves as they have held each of the last three opponents under 90 points. They will be coming to Portland with revenge on their minds for an early season loss at home to the Trailblazers, so they will bring intensity to this one which means a big defensive effort is in store. I like this one to go UNDER the posted total.
