Caesar’s. Obi Toppin has cleared this line in 9 of last 14 games. Great in transition, he gets a plus spot against the Trailblazers, who allow the sixth most points against the playtype. Myles Turner and Aaron Nesmith are both questionable - the former missed the game last night, and the latter has yet to play in a back to back since coming back from injury. If either of them are ruled out, we’ve secured significant value - but either way, this is a plus spot for Toppin.

The Portland Trailblazers have been playing good basketball having won eight of their last nine games. The Blazers are healthy and getting contributions from numerous players. They're taking on a Pacers team that are 13-12 on the road, meanwhile the Blazers are a respectable 13-13. Myles Turner is also questionable for tonights game. I think the Blazers will fight for 4 quarters and this game may ultimately come down to the final possession.

Portland is a league best 61 and one ATS and the second night of a back to back. It’s because they don’t have tired stars… Heck, they don’t have stars! But they are playing better and they are at home.

Maybe it's a good idea to start taking the Blazers seriously. It's now eight wins in nine, including two straight over the Suns. Portland, which has won its last two in second nights of back-to-backs, is seeing Deandre Ayton begin to dominate, scoring 24 and 25 in the last two wins vs. the Suns. He also added 20 rebounds last night. Ex-Wizard F Deni Avdija fired in another 24 points last night. It's a second in two nights for the Pacers, too, after they survived 112-11 on Monday at Utah. Indiana has had just three of these this season, and lost two. Note Portland stayed inside of a 9.5 spread at Indianapolis back on November 27. Play Blazers.
