Two teams in play-in position in their respective conferences clash Sunday, when the Portland Trail Blazers visit the Atlanta Hawks.
Despite likely missing their best player, my Trail Blazers vs. Hawks predictions and NBA picks believe Portland can keep it close in Atlanta on March 1.
Trail Blazers vs Hawks prediction
Trail Blazers vs Hawks best bet: Trail Blazers +5.5 (-105)
The Portland Trail Blazers will be playing the second night of a back-to-back after getting crushed Saturday night in Charlotte.
All-star Deni Avdija (back) missed that one, and his status is still undetermined. Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is also out.
However, Portland is one of the best cover teams playing on consecutive nights, going 8-4-0 against the spread this season.
The Atlanta Hawks have won three straight, but they’ve been against bottom-feeding Washington (twice) and Brooklyn. This will be a level-up game.
They’re just 1-4-0 ATS in the last five vs. Portland, and both Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) and Jalen Johnson (hip) are both questionable.
Trail Blazers vs Hawks same-game parlay
Jrue Holiday led the Blazers in scoring against the Hornets, going for 25. But he’s been silent against Atlanta of late, going for 16 points or less in five straight games vs the Hawks.
CJ McCollum must love playing his former team: he’s gone for 20+ points in six straight games against Portland.
