Portland has quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league and it demolished the Magic 101-79 on the road in the first meeting last Thursday. The Trail Blazers have won five of six with a 6-0 ATS record, including a 125-112 stunner against Milwaukee on Tuesday. Deni Avdija had a season-high 30 points for Portland, which shot 51 percent and hit 12 of 28 3-point tries. Orlando has lost eight of 10 and it covered the number just three times in that span, including a 125-119 loss at Miami on Monday. The Magic have failed to score 100 points four of their past seven games and they are 0-4 ATS their past four road games. The Blazers have covered six straight as underdogs and seven of eight overall against the Southeast Division. The Magic have lost 12 of the past 16 meetings outright. Take the Trail Blazers.
