Trail Blazers @ Heat: Betting Odds
These teams are facing off for the second and final time as they played in Portland back on October 26 where the Miami Heat were able to pick up a 119-98 road victory. However, the Heat have been lackluster so far as they try to figure out how to be a solid team despite their injuries.
The Trail Blazers have been trying to stay afloat as point guard Damian Lillard has missed the last four games with a calf injury, but is questionable for this game. They are surprising a lot of people in the early stages of the season with how well they have been doing and against pretty solid competition as well.

Trail Blazers @ Heat: Pick & Prediction
The Miami Heat have not looked like they have the previous few seasons to begin the season. They have some injuries as they will still be without shooting guard Victor Oladipo, but this offense should still be in a lot better of a situation. Portland has actually been the better defensive team as of late as they are giving up 7.5 points in their last four games while Miami is allowing 111.8 points in their previous five games. With Damian Lillard being questionable for this game, get this number while we still have time before Lillard is announced to play, as is expected.
