Trail Blazers vs Mavericks Spread Pick
- Portland Trail Blazers -3 (5 units)
This will be a close game between two of the bottom feeders in the West. Portland has the purest scorer in this game, with Deni Avdija leading the charge. He will help Portland secure the home win by consistently earning offensive possessions. The Mavericks have struggled offensively with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving both injured and out of the lineup. The Mavericks are the second-worst efficient team in the sport and Portland should be able to play off of that, leading to easy baskets going the opposite way.
Take Portland to cover.
