Let's dive in now!
Portland Trail Blazers -9.5 Alt. Point Spread (+235)
I was impressed with Portland's performance at Utah last night, even though their win ruined my Mega Parlay bet. The Blazers went all out scoring 69 points in the first half and overcame a late surge by the Jazz to win their 12th game of the season. Tonight's game could also see the return of Damian Lillard who has been out for a while now, that would be a massive boost to their offense. Their opponent the Pacers are struggling on the road this season winning just 5 of 11 games, they've now dropped 3 of their last 4 in Utah, at Sacramento and in LA vs the Clippers. Tyrese Haliburton is also questionable due to a groin issue, without him I can't see them getting much out of tonight's game. Their last 3 losses were by 20, 23 and 14 points. I expect Portland to come out firing right from the get go in this one, the Pacers simply won't have enough to keep up with them.
