The Trail Blazers vs. Rockets betting line could be found at AceSportsbook.com and was subject to change throughout the afternoon and early evening hours though we haven’t seen a whole lot of fluctuations off the Rockets -4.5.
Portland is 34-17 Straight Up but only 25-25 Against The Spread. They have lost eight of their last ten Against The Spread overall. Houston, on the other hand, has won 6 of their last 10 games ATS and 7 Straight Up.
The home team has won the last four in this series while Houston has gone 5-0 Against The Spread in the last five games of this season.
For daily fantasy players, we like - LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland) - $9.5K – this evening as Houston struggles with the power forward position and now things will be even worse with Dwight Howard out.
Aldridge, who totaled 89 points over the playoff series' first two games, has averaged 28.4 points and 13.1 rebounds in his last seven regular-season meetings.
Your player salaries are:
Houston Rockets – J. Harden $10.1K, T. Ariza $5.4K, P. Beverly $4.2K, D. Motieiu $6K, J. Dorsey $3K (Feb 8)
Portland Trail Blazers - Damian Lillard ($8.7), Wesley Matthews ($6.1K), R. Lopez ($4.5K), Lamarcus Aldridge ($9.5K) and Nicolas Batum ($5.3). (Feb 8)
