Like many teams, the Portland Trailblazers have suffered from injuries. Coupled with a five game losing streak and this this team down to .500, but they snapped the skid their last time out, winning at Miami 102-95. Orlando has also been bitten by the injury bug, but do not have the roster depth to overcome it, and have paid the price. The Magic are a woeful 3-14 SU in their last 17 games, and have also gone 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games, including 0-5 ATS in their last five where they have lost by an average of 10 points per game. They have allowed 13 of their last 19 opponents to shoot 46% or better, while they have been shy of 46% in 8 of their last 11 on offense, which is a tough deficit to overcome. Play on Portland.
