Analysis
While I believe the outright victory is the most likely outcome for Portland on Friday night, my official call is to grab as many points as you can. The Blazers are only 16-20 ATS on the road, but the Wolves are just 16-20 ATS at home. Minnesota is coming off back-to-back wins over Phoenix and Utah, but it's the Blazers that play with revenge, following a 124-121 home loss as 6.5-point dogs in late February. With a much more high-profile contest at Boston on Sunday afternoon, this also sets up as a potential "look-ahead" spot for the home side as well. Portland is also playing well, entering off back-to-back road wins over Brooklyn and Indiana. Grab the points, the play is on the Blazers ***WEST-COAST EXPRESS
