Stephen Nover's NBA Game of the Week
(NBA) Indiana vs. Portland,
Point Spread: -4.50 | -105.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Loss
Portland returns home following a disappointing 0-3 road trip capped off by an upset loss to the Cavaliers this past Wednesday.

The Trail Blazers should play with a sense of desperation. They also should play well having won their last three home games in blowout fashion against the Suns, Grizzlies and Clippers.

Indiana is off a satisfying, 111-98, home win against the Knicks from Wednesday.

The Pacers have been at their worst on the road going 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS. This is their first away matchup in a week.

Indiana does not have a good history at Portland either having lost in 11 of their past 12 visits.
