It’s shaping up to be an exciting matchup on Valentine’s Day when the Washington Wizards take on the Portland Trail Blazers this Tuesday in Portland. Both teams are coming off a back-to-back set, and the Blazers look to make it four wins in a row against the Wizards. The last time these two faced off was on February 3rd, where the Trail Blazers pulled off a 124-116 victory as 4.5-point underdogs. Can they defend their home court?
Well lets check on some injuries, the Blazers will be playing without Jerami Grant as he is on the concussion protocol and Jusuf Nurkic who is still out with a strained left calf. As for the Wizards, they will be without Kyle Kuzma and Bradley Beal is questionable for tonight.
Although most of the ATS trends are leaning towards the Wizards to cover, i’m thinking it’s going the other way, especially if Bradley Beal takes the night off. Also, the Wizards are playing on back-to-back games on the road whereas the Blazers are on back-to-back games but at home.
That said, I’m locked in with the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread at -3 for my free pick of the day.
