Last year the Magic came up big time after time on the road vs. good teams. This season has not been nearly the same. Lately this team is playing poorly, winning just two of their last seven, and are just 9-8 in their last 17. The wins certainly aren't coming on the road vs. the good teams as they have dropped their last four against teams with a .500+ record on the road by a combined 48 points, or 12 per game, so laying points here is a bad investment on the Magic. Portland is in charge at home vs. some big teams, having taken out the Lakers, Denver and Phoenix all within the last month on this court. The Blazers are a live dog at home carrying a 29-11 ATS mark in their last 40. I'll go with Portland here.
