Analysis: Believe it or not, the Pacers have covered the spread against Portland in each of the last 10 meetings! However, I like the Blazers to snap that emphatic – and shocking – ATS losing streak with a solid road win tonight.

With both teams struggling to score the ball recently, I also like the Under in this contest.
