Public Money Consensus

Those looking to lay the points are subjected to extra juice at a price of -120. In Over/Under markets, the number has diminished by two points. Presently, the Under is accompanied by a +115 price tag.

Portland Trailblazers at Washington Wizards Pick

Situational betting is a huge part of any handicapper’s acumen. The prospect of a home dog when compared to spotting points with the road team and extra juice is a delectable proposition indeed. The problem with Washington is that it has a knack for getting in its own way. Against teams they should win against, they stumble. However, when the Wizards are off the radar and undervalued they are very dangerous to overlook. This scenario sets up that narrative to come to life. As we have mentioned previously, Portland is a team that is consistent in it how it performs overall. This is magnified even more when they are away from home. Case and point, the Blazers were lucky to get out of Brooklyn alive last night.

From a match-up perspective, the defenses will take the forefront. This is a rather interesting paradigm shift given the fact that both the Blazers and Wizards are known for the stellar offensive production of both their point guards John Wall and Damien Lillard. Nevertheless, two of the best teams at defending the three-pointer will be on the hardwood in this one (Portland – 4th in the league at 33.1%, Washington – 5th in the league at 33.2%). In a contest of this nature, it is hard to spot this many points with the Blazers.
