Los Angeles Clippers vs. Portland Trail Blazers Prediction and Odds

Just a week ago, the Los Angeles Clippers dominated the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland gets its chance at revenge tonight and gets to do it on their home floor. Paul George has fully embraced the underdog role and has turned it into an opportunity to play with grit. 

The Trail Blazers are trying to stay competitive in a balanced Western Conference, and keep their superstar in the process. Damian Lillard played up to his potential in the first four games, but Portland has still found a way to get to 2-2.

Trail Blazers vs Clippers Prediction and Pick

The Clippers blew out the Trail Blazers on Monday by 30 points. I don’t see that happening again and I expect the opposite. The Blazers will win this game and cover the -2.5-point spread. While Portland’s defense could be their Achilles heel tonight, I’m banking on something else powering the Blazers to victory. 

Damian Lillard hasn’t been his best self to start the season -- averaging 17.8 points on 17.1.% from downtown-- but he is slowly getting back to form. In their first matchup, Lillard scored 12 points. That won’t happen again. He’ll be better and the Blazers will clearly benefit from it.
