Trail Blazers will be fighting to end a 4-game losing skid when they host the New Orleans Hornets Sunday at Rose Garden.
Portland brings a 18-36 overall mark (3-8 in the division) into this game versus a New Orleans team carrying a 30-25 record.
The Hornets are road favorites, opening as 4.5-point chalk, with an opening total of 187. They are 30-25 this season and 20-22 OU. The Trail Blazers are 18-36 and are 22-31-1 OU.
Byron Scott's team hopes to build upon a 100-95 win over Jazz. They were 2.5 point underdogs in a game that went over the total
Meanwhile, Portland comes off a 102-96 loss against the Celtics, a game where they were a 3 point underdog. The game went over the closing total of 189.
You can't expect much in the way of offensive fireworks from Portland. Saddled with the 30th-ranked offence and averaging just 89.1 points per game the Trail Blazers' offence needs to give its defensive unit some help Sunday in order to have a chance against the Hornets.
Some trends to consider:
New Orleans is 1-5-0 ATS in its last 6 games after being .5 to 3 point underdogs
New Orleans is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games against Portland
New Orleans is 1-3-1 OU in its last 5 games
New Orleans is 3-10-0 SU in its last 13 games after being .5 to 3 point underdogs
Portland is 5-2-0 ATS in its last 7 home games
Portland is 6-3-0 ATS in its last 9 games after scoring 90 to 100 points
Portland is 6-3-0 ATS in its last 9 games after being .5 to 3 point underdogs
Portland is 5-12-1 OU in its last 18 games
