Portland(-2) at Indiana(+2)
I recall betting on this game a few weeks back when they played in Portland. Back then the spread was Portland (-10) and the Pacers not only covered that night but they almost won the game losing 107-105 in a game that came down to the wire. Well Tonight the Pacers will have a chance to get a bit of revenge on their own home court. Although Indiana's Troy Murphy may not play in this game I still like my chances considering the history between these 2 teams. The Blazers are 1-9 in their last 10 contests versus the Pacers, and more importantly the Blazers are 0-10 ATS in that same time period. It seems that for whatever reason Portland seems to have problems with Indiana and i look for that trend to continue tonight. Its funny thinking back to all the good teams that have had difficulties with certain teams on their schedule. For Example the New England Patriots during their championship run always seem to find a way to lose to the Miami Dolphins at least once a year, or the Toronto Blue Jays can never beat the Texas rangers for some unknown reason or going even further back do you remember Montana and the Niners always having trouble with the L.A. Rams of the 80's. Portland is by far a much better team than Indiana, but tonight i think this mysterious trend continues to haunt the Blazers.
