Trail Blazers Have Had Indy's Number
In a year where many predicted them to dwell in the bottom of the Western Conference standings, the Portland Trail Blazers continue to raise eyebrows and will be looking to collect their 13th win in their last 15 games when they take on the Indiana Pacers on Sunday.
The Trail Blazers have traditionally been a very reliable bet when they face Indy, as Damian Lillard and company are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between the squads. The underdog is 4-1 ATS during that span as well.
A big reason for Portland’s success this year has been their dominancy from beyond the arc. The Blazers are one of just three teams in the Association who have made 600 3-pointers. They’ve drained at least 10 in eight of their last 10 entering tonight’s tilt.
