We round out the regular season with two super-slates, with all 30 teams in action across Saturday and Monday.<\/p>\n
There are plenty of dead rubbers on Saturday, but this is not one of them. Portland are pushing for a playoff spot, and a win here keeps them in the hunt for a double chance in the play-in.<\/p>\n
The Blazers won this matchup less than a fortnight ago. Back at home, they\u2019ll be looking to repeat the dose.<\/p>\n
Portland have been strong at home and will be desperate to secure a win to keep their postseason hopes alive.<\/p>\n
They have covered in seven of their last nine home games, winning five of their last six.<\/p>\n
While the Clippers have won their last four road games, those wins came against weaker opposition in the Pacers, Mavericks, Kings and Bucks. More importantly, they have failed to cover in six of their last seven road games.<\/p>\n
This is the fourth meeting between these teams this season, and all three previous matchups have gone under this total.<\/p>\n
The average total points across those games sits at 220.3.<\/p>\n
Portland\u2019s last three home games have also gone under, and with play-in implications on the line, expect a tighter, more defensive contest.<\/p>\n
