Analysis: While the Blazers have a fine, 28-6 home record this season, I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread in this contest as they have won and covered the spread in three of four against the Blazers.

I also like the Under in this matchup as it has played in three straight meetings between these ballclubs and will likely do so again tonight with Portland allowing just under 95 points per game this season.
