Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Houston Rockets Prediction
Portland is playing well at the moment, despite its many injury issues, winning five of its last six. But the Rockets have also been dealing with injury issues and have won five of their last six. However, the Rockets have one thing that the Trail Blazers do not—Kevin Durant. Several factors make this one look like it could go either way, but a healthy Durant pushes it in Houston's favor.
