Portland has lost six in a row and dealt away CJ McCollum in a trade. Both teams have been disappointing this season and both will be playing back-to-back. L.A. coming off of a blowout loss to Milwaukee while Portland was blown out by Orlando. Even if the players the Trail Blazers acquired can play tonight, it will take some time to fit in. Portland is 21-33 ATS this season. The Lakers need to make a push to improve their playoff spot and here is the right time.

Play on Portland. This is a 7* play.
