Clippers at Trail Blazers Betting Picks

Trail Blazers Moneyline (+104)

With the Blazers playing at home and the Clippers missing Ivica Zubac, I'm taking Portland to win.

The Clips have won two straight, one of which Zubac missed and the other he exited early due to injury. Despite those results, LA has been a worse team sans Zubac this season -- especially offensively.

With Zubac off the floor, the Clippers are scoring 111.1 points per 100 possessions, down from 116.7 with Zubac on the court.

The location of this game is a factor, too. LA is 25th in road net rating (-8.1) and has won only two of their past 12 road games.

Portland is far from a world beater at home, sporting a -2.4 home net rating and losing eight straight home games after winning five in a row to start the year. But their home schedule has been pretty darn tough, and tonight will be one of their softest home games of the year.

Shaedon Sharpe Over 25.5 Points (-122)

Shaedon Sharpe has been absolutely cooking, and he can stay hot in this matchup with the Clippers.

Over his last five games, Sharpe is pouring in an average of 26.2 points per game while taking 19.6 shots per night on a 32.8% usage rate. He's shouldered more of the offensive load due to the absence of Jerami Grant -- who is out again today -- as Sharpe is putting up just 17.7 shots per game on the season.

Sharpe netted only 19 points in his lone previous meeting with the Clips this season, but he had a terrible shooting night, going 7 for 24 -- including 1 of 9 from three -- in that one.

The Clippers are giving up the sixth-most points per game to shooting guards (22.9) on the season, and given Sharpe's recent form, he's plenty capable of taking advantage of the friendly matchup.
