The Portland Trail Blazers (19-55) play the Orlando Magic (43-31). The magic is a team that could be dangerous come playoff time. Conversely, the Trailblazers are in complete shambles. Even when fully healthy, this isn’t a good roster. However, injuries make this a bad matchup, night in and night out.
But on what could be a surprising night, do you see Portland able to come up with a stunning road win against Orlando tonight?

Game Prediction
The Portland Trail Blazers are huge underdogs for a reason. Especially on the road, it’s more likely that this game is closer to a 30- to 40-point loss than anything else. Usually, I’m afraid of a silly backdoor cover, but not in this case. Therefore, I’m going with the Orlando Magic to cover this large spread at home tonight.
Final Pick
Orlando Magic -16
