Result:
LOSS

Portland has won and covered the last five meetings with New Orleans, including 105-101 on Dec. 14. Damion Lillard scored 30 points that night, however, Lillard is questionable after being diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, which can take a while to heal. Tim Frazier took his place in Monday's 106-97 loss at Atlanta and scored 12 points with seven rebounds and seven assists. The Blazers shot 46.9 percent against the Hawks, but were just 5-of-24 from distance. The Pelicans beat Denver 130-125 on Sunday as Anthony Davis scored 27 points while his team shot 56.4 percent from the field although it averages 44.5 percent. The Pelicans are also 0-4 ATS when following an ATS win. Look for Portland to keep this one close, so play the Trailblazers.
