Jesse Schule Free Pick
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Portland, 01/20/2016 5:30 PM, Score: 104 - 98
Point Spread: 2.00 | 100.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a Free #NBA play on the Portland #Trailblazers.

The Blazers are back home after winning two of three on the road, and they will be an underdog to the visiting Hawks. Atlanta is coming off consecutive home wins, but it's lost it's last two road games at Milwaukee and Charlotte. The Hawks have a .500 record on the road, and they've lost four of their last away from Atlanta. They've failed to cover in seven of their last eight versus Northwest Division opponents.

Portland shot a season high 54.8 percent from beyond the arc in a 108-98 win at Washington on Monday, and C.J. McCollum was 6-of-10 with three pointers in the victory. Only the Golden State Warriors are averaging more made three-pointers per game (11.7) than the Blazers (11.1). I don't like Atlanta's chances playing on the road out West against a hot Portland team.

Take POR.
