This is a 10* SURE SHOT BLOWOUT on the Blazers.
Portland's on a roll right now. It looked arguably as the best team in the first eight games of the bubble, in particular the play of star Damian Lillard.
The Lakers did just enough to secure the top seed in the West and then they simply managed the rest of the way, looking to avoid injury.
LA does have a few injuries though and I think it'll have difficulties matching up with the Blazers and center Nurcic.
Who is the pressure on here? Clearly it's on LBJ and company. The Lakers are the better team "on paper" probably, but momentum and co-hesiveness is key at this time of year and I think LA has more questions than answers right now.
The outright is possible, but in the end I'm grabbing the points!
Good luck, NP
