(NBA) Indiana vs. Portland,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -110.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Blazers (10* TRADE-MARK).

Indiana lost to Sacramento to open up its five-game swing, but then pulled away for a nine-point win against the Warriors the following night. With two more high-profile games upcoming at Phoenix and the Clippers on back-to-back nights, I think Indiana gets caught flat-footed in the Pacific Northwest tonight. The Blazers return home off a successful 132-126 victory in Sacramento and I like this home side team to keep the momentum rolling here. I don't think fatigue is a factor whatsoever, as we're still just at the start of the season. For all the reasons listed above, lay the short points!

T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY.
