Raptors at Trail Blazers Prediction ATS 10/30/2017

The Raptors should improve with the expected return of Center Jonas Valanciunas who has missed the last three, but the Trail Blazers are playing extremely well. Portland is 4-2 on the season with both their losses being by one possession including a buzzer beating three-pointer by the Clippers to get the one-point victory. This is an obvious public play, but I can turn down the Blazers at this price at home.
