BETTING TRENDS

Brooklyn are 6-13 SU in their last 19 games.

Brooklyn are 5-13 SU in their last 18 games against Portland.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Brooklyn's last 7 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Brooklyn's last 5 games when playing on the road against Portland.

Portland are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 13 of Portland's last 19 games.

Portland are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Portland's last 6 games against Brooklyn.

 

Prediction

The Nets have been awful lately and are coming from allow 153 points against the Kings and even as they scored 121 points if they don't play defense they will continue to lose games. The Blazers have been great so far this season and are allowing 106 points per game. They're also 13-5 in the last 18 games vs Nets. Kurkic is likely to play this game which is great news for the team. With Kyrie Irving still out I don't see how the Nets can beat the Blazers on the road. take the Blazers.

PICK: Blazers -2.5 (-110)
