Result:
LOSS

Portland is having a nightmare season, but surprisingly it has a better record than the Pacers, who are destined to finish second-to-last in the Central Division. The Pacers do come off of a 121-118 win over the lowly Rockets on Friday, but Indiana still is a bad defensive squad allowing 47.4% shooting overall and 36.3% from 3-point range this season. The Trail Blazers haven't done much winning either, but they have covered the spread in three of their last four games, including a 128-123 loss at Brooklyn on Friday as a 14.5-point underdog. Josh Hart led the Blazers with 25 points, and the team shot 50% overall and hit 13 of 35 3-pointers. Portland is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings and 4-1 ATS in its last five games versus teams with losing records. The Pacers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games. Play the Trail Blazers.
