Portland at New Orleans

Portland is a beast at #7 in the NBA in points scored, tops in rebounding and third in points allowed. Damon Lillard has been outstanding during Portland's current four-game win streak, averaging 28.3 points and 5.8 assists. He scored a career-high 43 points Friday against San Antonio in the 129-119 triple OT victory. Forward LaMarcus Aldridge has hauled in at least 14 rebounds in each of his last four games. The Blazers are 7-2 ATS against a team with a winning record. New Orleans is an up-and-coming young team, but short on defense allowing 102.1 ppg (#23). Portland has taken nine of the last 12 meetings so grab the talented dog and play on Portland.
