Minnesota at Portland

The Portland Trailblazers continue to be injury plagued this season and although they started strong at 6-3, they have since been facing reality as they have gone 6-11. They have lost four games straight up to some pretty bad basketball teams in New Jersey, Washington, Memphis and Philadelphia. This is a hard number to justify when you consider they have beaten just one team in their last 17 games by more than 9 points. Minnesota has been no bargain this season either, but they have become a much more competitive team as in their last six games. With four of them on the road, they have lost just one by more than 9 points. Think this line is too high, and I like Minnesota here.
