The Portland Trail Blazers will play their home opener when they host the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night. They've still managed to compile a 2-1 SU (2-0-1 ATS) record through three games on the road, and I think they'll win this one big coming off the lone loss at Milwaukee.

Note that the Blazers are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings with the Pelicans home at Moda Center and Damian Lillard averaged 27.7 points in three games against New Orleans last season.

The Pelicans picked up their first win of the season by defeating the Lakers 119-112 at LA on Sunday. They did however blow a 20-point lead late in the third quarter and fell behind before rallying down the stretch, and they're still struggling to get big men Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins to click.

Portland has a huge advantage with Lillard and CJ McCollum in the backcourt, and I don't think New Orleans' small edge in the paint will make up for it.

My selection is a 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers.
