Portland at Washington

Portland is 10-5 straight up and ATS while the Wizards have been a major disappointment with a 5-10 record, even with a recent three-game winning streak, which was snapped when the Wizards reverted to their losing ways on Friday losing to Brooklyn, 115-104, as a 6.5-point favorite at home. Dwight Howard had 25 points and 17 rebounds in a losing cause as his team shot only 42.5 percent overall and made just three of 17 from 3-point range. The Wizards are averaging 111.1 points, yet allow 116.7, and the Trail Blazers have the big edge defensively as they allow 107.9 points per game on only 43.4 percent shooting. Portland wants to avenge a 125-124 overtime loss to the Wizards in October, and the Blazers are 7-3 ATS their last 10 games overall. Washington is 0-6 ATS its last six versus Western Conference teams and 5-12 ATS its last 17 overall. Play the Trail Blazers.
