Why the Trail Blazers Could Cover the Spread

Portland is coming off a 110-93 loss to the New York Knicks on Sunday. In that game, the Trail Blazers were leading early in the fourth quarter but ultimately lost by 17 points. Deni Avdija was the top scorer for the Blazers with 33 points, along with seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals. However, Portland`s bench contributed very little, scoring only four points despite playing 53 minutes.

While the young Trail Blazers have struggled offensively, their defense has some strengths. They are effective at defending the perimeter, allowing the fifth-fewest made 3-pointers per game. Portland also has a strong interior defense, ranking eighth in blocks per game. Anfernee Simons, their leading scorer, is questionable to play due to a forearm injury, while Jerami Grant is doubtful but potentially returning from a three-week absence due to a knee injury.

Why the Hawks Could Cover the Spread

Atlanta displayed strong offense on Sunday, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks 145-124. The Hawks led by as much as 27 points and reached 100 points midway through the third quarter. Zaccharie Risacher, the first overall pick, scored a career-high 36 points, and Trae Young recorded a double-double with 19 points and 19 assists.

The Hawks` bench contributed 46 points, suggesting a significant depth advantage over Portland, who will be without Deandre Ayton and Scoot Henderson. Atlanta boasts the No. 5 scoring offense in the NBA, and their recent additions have proven to be valuable. Caris LeVert (14.8 points), Georges Niang (13.1), and Terance Mann (10) have all increased their scoring averages since joining the Hawks.
