The Washington Wizards lost at home to Oklahoma City on Wednesday by a score of 105-103 in OT. The Wizards are in Portland tonight, and they are favored to beat the Blazers who have lost five of six.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - These teams have seen the total go under in seven of the last nine meetings in Portland.


2. Home Cookin' - The under is 19-7-1 in Trail Blazers last 27 home games.

3. X-Factor - The under is 8-2 in Wizards last 10 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.

Selection: This is a play on WAS@POR to go UNDER the total (10*)
