T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers.

I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers looked a lot better in their most recent game against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have been really hot lately and the Trail Blazers went into that building winning by 5 points in their previous game. I think they are going to carry that momentum over into this game and continue to play well winning this game too. Lillard had a great game in their previous one but he didn't have to do it himself in that game and got some help from the players around him. I am expecting another great team effort from them here and I like them to keep playing at a high level led by Lillard. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row and they have won 3 of their previous 4 games but I think that they have been overachieving in these games and I expect them to come back down to Earth soon since they aren't that good of a team and are still missing Zion in their lineup who looks like he won't be back at all this year. I think the fatigue is going to start eating away at Brandon Ingram and I don't think Valanciunas is good enough to carry the team himself. I think it is only a matter of time before these Pelicans start to break down and I like what i saw from Lillard and the Trail Blazers in their most recent game. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 112-104 Trail Blazers.
