You need an uptempo offense to hang with Houston, and Portland has it, tops in the NBA in scoring. The Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games, 4-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Houston is off a blowout win over the Pacers, an East/West showdown, but the Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a win of more than 10 points. Play Portland.
