Our Charlotte Hornets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

Fearless Forecast: The Hornets fend off the Blazers 117-112

The Hornets are our pick to win their fourth consecutive game because of how well they have played recently. However, the Blazers are not the team to overlook. Portland is fighting to stay in the playoff hunt with a 29-31 record. Like the Hornets, every game is important for this young team loaded with promising stars and a do-it-all All-Star forward, Deni Avdija.

Avdija is listed as a game-time decision with a back injury, but there’s a high chance he will suit up in Saturday’s game vs. the Hornets. Charlotte is an exciting, young squad full of promise, but they aren’t going to blow out the Blazers, who are as hungry as they are. Portland is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games against Charlotte and 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games.

Our betting prediction for the Portland Trail Blazers vs. the Charlotte Hornets: The Blazers +8.5 points

Prediction:

 

The Blazers +8.5 points
