Result:
WIN

Portland has won three in a row for the first time on the road in two years, and come home looking to make it a fourth. The Clippers road woes are no secret as they finally became the last team to win on the road in the NBA with a win at Memphis. They were in the playoffs last year and started 6-2. But since they ahve gone 4-9 and it's hard for us to believe they are favored on the road at all. Especially since they have just one win on the road all season. Portland has to be feeling good getting home off three road wins in a row finishing up a six game road trip. It must be noted that teams coming off of a six game road trip were 11-3-1 ATS last year, first game at home. The Blazers have also been 6-1 ATS as a small dog of 4.5 or less, while the Clippers, who at the moment don't resemble a playoff team, have been 1-9 ATS on the road. We will take Portland to make it four in a row.
