Atlanta at Portland

The Portland Trailblazers have been hit with the injury bug and come into this game at a woeful 13-22. They are without their dynamic guards in C.J. McCollum and Damien Lillard. That is a lot of experience and offense. Atlanta has not lived up to their preseason billing either as the Hawks enter at 13-16. Portland has key injuries but Atlanta is really struggling with Covid-19 issues. They currently list 11 players with covid issues and at least four of those have already been declared out. Portland has always done well here as a home dog, and finally get a team with more missing pieces than themselves, and at home. I like Portland in this one.
