Game Prediction
Although neither of these teams are going to make the play-in or playoffs, this could be an important win for both of them. A confidence booster at the end of the season can help them get set up for next year.
This game will probably be low-scoring. Neither team is strong on the offensive or defensive end. It really could go either way.
However, I’m going to pick the Portland Trail Blazers to win this game.
Final Pick
Portland Trail Blazers (MoneyLine +110)
