Prediction:
Blazers Thunder Betting
This is quite a big spread to cover for the Blazers tonight. They are coming off a nice win over the Rockets, but haven’t put together a lot of consistency this year when it comes to covering. Over their last 10 games, the Blazers have just one double-digit victory. The Knicks have managed to cover in their last two, but have some bad losses along the way as well. Still, I will take my chances on them with the points. A lot of good needs to happen to win by at least 13 points.
