Washington at Portland

The Washington Wizards are 1-31 on the road. They have had trouble on the road, in particular vs. the good teams in the league. Their last seven road games have seen them average 90.8 points per game, including 113 at Miami. The other six show a more representative number in their road games at 87.2 ppg. They may find the going even tougher tonight in Portland who is allowing a stingy 86.4 ppg in their last eight at home vs. a team with a losing record. Washington has now played six straight to the UNDER on the road vs. a winning team, while Portland is 5-0 to the UNDER vs. a losing team in their last five. These clubs have played 13-3 to the UNDER in their last 16 meetings, including 5-0 UNDER in Portland. Only one way to go here – play the UNDER.
