The Trail Blazers will be without Damian Lillard and Shaedon Sharpe. Robert Williams III and Vit Krejci are questionable.
The Trail Blazers should be big favorites with the rest advantage and what not. The Pacers are banged up and not winning and they played last night. The Blazers rocked the Pacers earlier this month. However, the Trail Blazers are a young team still learning how to win consistently and live up to expectations. This will be just the 10th time the Trail Blazers are a double-digit favorite since COVID. We don’t see this much respect for the Trail Blazers often. The Pacers play their best at home by far. I’d lean toward the points.
