Premium Pick

There is no doubt that the Charlotte Bobcats are an improved team, but coming from where they were the last two years, they still have a long way to go. Portland was one of the biggest surprises in the NBA to start the season, but like most good teams they hit the wall. They went through a stretch where winning simply did not come easy. They have certainly regrouped, and have become more like the team we saw earlier in the season. The Blazers have now gone 9-6 over their last 15 and have won three of their last four, and are now an undervalued team. They have also gone 5-1 ATS in their last six vs. the weaker Eastern Conference. Charlotte is just 14-36-2 ATS vs. the NBA's Northwest, with Portland leading that charge at 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Play on Portland.
