Result:
WIN

The Washington Wizards took an unfortunate blow with the loss of John Wall to a knee injury. Wall is obviously the catalyst to the Washington offense. The cupboard is far from bare, and in the five games Wall has missed the Wizards have covered three of them, including three of the last four. I think the oddsmakers have over-compensated for the injury thus far and again tonight. Portland has been up and down, and mostly overvalued as the Blazers are 5-12-2 ATS in their last 19. Their performance has been mostly due to poor shooting, connecting on 44% or less in 13 of those 19 games, and under 40% in six of them. Washington is off a 47-point loss to Utah, and didn't reach the 70-point mark. I think the Wizards can't wait to get on the court again as they are playing with revenge, as well as to wipe away the bad taste from their previous game. Play on Washington.
