However, no team favored so heavily on the ML is worth backing, so pass and bet on the spread and\/or total instead.<\/p>\n LEAN TRAIL BLAZERS -10.5 (-105).<\/p>\n Portland has covered the spread in 3 of its last 4 games against the Nets overall and in 4 of the last 5 matchups between these squads in Brooklyn. The Trail Blazers are also 35-33 ATS this season, while the Nets are just 30-36-1 against the spread.<\/p>\n The Nets are trying to lose, so covering by double digits here shouldn’t be too difficult for the Blazers.<\/p>\n This is a very slight LEAN, however, as the Nets sit at 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games.<\/p>\n BET UNDER 221.5 (-115).<\/p>\n The Under has hit in back-to-back games for the Nets and is 37-30 on the season. For Portland, the Under is 2-1 in its last 3 overall and is 4-2 in its last 6 road games. The Under has also hit in 6 of the last 10 overall matchups between these squads, sitting at 3-2 in Portland’s last 5 wins of the series.<\/p>\n With both teams being in the bottom 7 in offensive rating, the Under is the much safer play here.<\/p>\n For more sports betting picks and tips, check out SportsbookWire.com<\/a> and BetFTW<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow SportsbookWire on Twitter\/X<\/a> and like us on Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Access more NBA coverage:<\/p>\n HoopsHype<\/a> | Celtics Wire<\/a> | Nets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Rockets Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Sixers Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Thunder Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Warriors Wire<\/a>\u00a0| LeBron Wire<\/a> |\u00a0Rookie Wire<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0List Wire<\/a><\/p>\n Our team of savvy editors independently handpicks all recommendations.
