(NBA) LA Lakers vs. Portland,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -105.00 Portland (Home)
Result: Win
It will be an emotional night in Portland, as the team honors late owner Paul Allen who just passed away. Just as important, the Trail Blazers have a huge edge in shooting and they even added more deep threats in the offseason. LeBron on 1st year on new teams have historically started very slow. Public is all over LeBron and the Lakers, but we are backing Portland to win their fifth straight regular-season opener, and cover the small number.
