This is the first of a five-game road trip for the Trailblazers, who are just 15-14 on the road. Portland is still in adjustment mode from the loss of 3-point shooting guard Wesley Matthews for the season. Portland is 2-5 ATS against the East and 4-9 ATS following a spread win. Portland is also ninth in the NBA in points allowed and 12-4 UNDER the total following a win of more than 10 points. They face a Toronto team off a big win that plays its best defense at home. They come off a win over Miami at home allowing 92 points and just 5-of-23 from long range. Point guard Kyle Lowry fueled the victory with a superb outing that included 19 points, eight rebounds, eight assists, a career-high seven steals, and five 3-point baskets. Toronto is 12-2 ATS against the NBA Northwest Division and 11-1 UNDER the total at home against a team with a winning road record. Toronto is also 4-1 UNDER the total at home. Play Toronto and the game UNDER the total.
