Portland has something to play for as it can gain the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference if it wins its final two games and Houston loses its final game against Oklahoma City. Los Angeles, of course, is finishing up a totally disappointing season with a 37-44 record and 34-45-2 ATS compared to a 44-35-1 spread record for the Trail Blazers. Also, it's double revenge for the Blazers, who lost the last two meetings back in November. Portland comes off a 115-108 win over Denver on Sunday when Damian Lillard poured in 30 points and Al-Farouq Aminu added 23 points and 11 rebounds. Enes Kanter finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds as the Blazers are getting big contributions from several players. Portland is 23-9 ATS the last 32 meetings at Los Angeles and 45-19 ATS the last 64 meetings overall. The Blazers have covered 11 of their last 15 road contests. Take the Trail Blazers.
