Portland at Miami

It's easy to like the Blazers in this one as they have been on a serious roll. They have have won 18 of their last 21. However, they are just 1-2 in their last three. The Blazers find themselves in a new role tonight, as they have only been favored on the road once all season. This team will be playing their 4th consecutive road game, and coming off a high octane loss to Boston. They may be in for a letdown against thje lowly Heat. Miami may be hard to take here for some, but not us. They have dropped 11 in a row and are 2-15 ATS in their last 17. The difference here is they are 1-11 ATS as a home chalk, but 3-3 as a home dog. The timing of this game is the biggest reason here, as Portland is in a stretch of 10 of 12 on the road, playing in Miami after Boston, with Orlando on deck. We like the Heat in this one.
