Both Washington and Portland are playing well. But the Wizards are in a vulnerable spot here. The Wizards went to 3-0 on their current road trip after rallying from a 15-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Kings in overtime last night.

Portland has won four in a row. This is a crucial game for the Trail Blazers, who go on the road for five games following this matchup. The Trail Blazers have one of the few starting backcourts that can match the Wizards' star power and their front line has been upgraded with the addition of Jusuf Nurkic, who's playing the best ball of his career.

The Trail Blazers have dominated the Wizards in Portland winning nine of the past 11 times there while going 8-3 ATS. Portland also has revenge for a 120-101 road loss to the Wizards on Jan. 16 when it had to play an usual early start day game due to Martin Luther King Day. That probably contributed to a very flat effort.
