Orlando has covered the spread four of the last five and seven of the last nine meetings with Portland. The Trail Blazers are in a letdown situation after a big win over the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The Trail Blazers took advantage of the cold-shooting Cavaliers, who braved terrible weather conditions to get to the game. C.J. McCollum scored 27 points and reserve Allen Crabbe added 24 points for the Blazers, who are playing their third game in four nights. Orlando looks to snap a four-game losing streak after a 105-96 defeat at the Clippers on Wednesday. Aaron Gordon scored a team-leading 28 points and Nikola Vucevic finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds for the Magic, who were just 6-of-22 from three-point range. Portland is only 7-19 ATS after a win and 2-5 ATS when following a win of 10-plus points. Take the points and play the Magic.
