Portland at Dallas Public Money:<br />
</h2>
<p>
So far we have seen the public opt in on the Blazers in the early going dropping this market by 2.5 points in some markets. As an option both the Mavericks and Blazers came on in as a -105 Pick Em by virtue of the fact neither team is spotting nor taking back any amount of points. As a result of the Pick-Em scenario, the Money Line is currently abolished for this contest. As for the Over/Under, we have seen the market remain stationery at 204.5, indicating no early action on the Under or the Over.

Portland Trailblazers at Dallas Mavericks Prediction

We targeted Portland before in a similar scenario when they took the road against Charlotte back in January. The Blazers play terribly outside of Rip City. When they are on the floor at the Moda Center in the Rose Quarter, they are as dangerous and potent as any team in the NBA. Of course Dallas had proven otherwise recently. Nevertheless, we have seen Portland give scares to Golden State on their own floor but when this same team took to the road, they were obliterated. When we laid Portland against Charlotte we came up on the winning end and given the fact that we have seen some early line movements materialize that suggest a heavy steam of action is coming in on the Blazers in this scenario, we can’t help but suspect the consensus is laying Dallas by virtue of last night’s troubles more than they are considering the poor road performances of Portland. Do not bite here, Dallas should be favored in this game, be that they beat this Portland team on their own court just days ago.
