No Brandon Roy, no Greg Oden, no Marcus Camby \u2013 the list goes on, yet the Blazers continue to stay alive in the Western Conference playoff push. They\u2019ve won eight of their last 12 games, a run that includes victories over the powerful Bulls and Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>The common denominator in those two big victories: LaMarcus Aldridge. He scored 40 or more points in both of those games. We keep expecting him to break down under a huge workload but he continues to rise to the occasion. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ymo7VEZ8gU2ZXdRsl6wLCi5\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto; height: auto; margin: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/basketball\/sportsbook_basketball_250x250_banner1.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Blazers are so-so from a betting perspective this season, going 24-25-3 against the spread overall and 10-14-3 ATS on the road. However, with the spread only at three points for their trip to Toronto, this is almost a pick \u2019em. If you think the Blazers win tonight, chances are it\u2019ll be by at least three points.<\/p>\n<p>The lowly Toronto Raptors have to be very thankful for the Cleveland Cavaliers\u2019 epic losing streak; it distracts the league from just how bad the Raps have been this season. Toronto has lost 15 of its last 16 games. You could make a case that the Raps are just as bad as Cleveland. Defense isn\u2019t in their vocabulary; opponents shoot an NBA-high 48.4 per cent against them for the year.<\/p>\n<p>The Raps have seen a few mild offensive bright spots this season; Andrea Bargnani\u2019s 21.3 points per game are nothing to sneeze at and sophomore DeMar DeRozan has responded to increased playing time with 15.7 points per game. But this team is going nowhere until it learns how to stop opponents from scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Even from a betting perspective, you can\u2019t touch the Raps with a 10-foot pole right now. They\u2019re 1-7 ATS over their last eight. I think the Blazers win easily tonight \u2013 with Aldridge shredding Toronto for at least 30 points and 10 boards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under is 6-2 in POR last 8 overall.<br \/>\nPOR are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.<br \/>\nTOR are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall.<br \/>\nTOR are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games.<br \/>\nUnder is 7-3 in TOR last 10 vs. NBA Northwest.<br \/>\nOver is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Trail Blazers 110, Raptors 98<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/respsportscapping.php?schedule\/league_id,nba\"><strong> CLICK HERE TO VIEW OUR TOP NBA CAPPERS PREDICTIONS FOR TODAY!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Friday night its the Portland Trailblazers vs. Toronto Raptors.
