Indiana +5 over PORTLAND
The Portland Trail Blazers try to avoid matching their longest losing streak of the season tonight when they host the struggling Indiana Pacers at the Rose Garden. The Trail Blazers have lost consecutive games following a four-game winning streak for their seventh losing streak of the season. Portland had its three-game home winning streak snapped with an ugly 88-60 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Indiana has also struggled, as they fell to 0-2 on a four-game road trip with a 97-95 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
Obviously, averaging a pathetic 15 points a quarter in their last outing, the Blazers are suffering offensively. They can certainly be expected to score more points here, but it should be a slugfest with feisty Ron Artest and the Pacers. Indiana is 7-0 ATS on the road vs. opponents off a home loss, while the Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games following a home defeat.
Other numbers also indicate that Portland is in for a fight here. They have gone just 2-10 ATS in their last dozen home games vs. NBA "CLASS A/B" opponents, 2-8 ATS at home vs. foes off 2+ days rest, 4-11 ATS in game 2 of a 2-game homestand off a home loss, and 0-7 ATS in Saturday home games this season. They may pull out the win here, but we look for it to go down to the final buzzer.
PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: PORTLAND 96 INDIANA 94
