T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers

I like the Portland Trail Blazers against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. With Damian Lillard back off injury, and the Blazers red hot to open up the season, I do not see them slowing down one bit against the Hornets here. Through their first 10 games of the season, Portland is averaging a 3pt FG percentage of 39.5%. That gives them the third best % in the NBA. Having said that, the Hornets are just tied for 22nd in that category. Without Lamelo Ball still, and with the Hornets struggling to open up the new season, I expect the Blazers to take care of business and pick up their 8th win of the season in this one.

T.M. Prediction: 119-106 Blazers.
