NBA - 507 Portland Trailblazers @ 508 Sacramento Kings
Projected line: Portland by 7 points
Portland is coming from a huge blowout win at home over the Bobcats, where they showed no mercy, with 55% FG, 23 fast break points and 58 points in the paint, while Charlotte's offense simply didn't exist! With that, Portland rested their starters, as Gerald played just 28min, Aldridge 26min, Felton 31min and Matthews 32min! On the other side, Sacramento keeps having the same problems: turnovers and desperately needing easy points at the rim and when that doesn't happen, their offense sucks hard! Considering Portland's excellent rim defense by allowing just 59% FG and just 57% on their last 5 games and their great perimeter defense, which will easily stop the Kings' pathetic outside shooting game and prevent the penetrations from both Evans and Thornton to be efficient today!
On the other side of the court, Portland will have no problems in attacking the rim against the pathetic rim defense of the Kings, which is averaging 71% FG allowed at the rim this season! Portland has a huge edge on this matchup and they have already crushed the Kings twice this season. I expect the same thing to happen today, with Portland taking advantage of their huge edge in terms of boards and rim defense, so I'll take the Blazers tonight.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 507 Portland Trailblazers (-3,5) @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker
