Clippers at Trailblazers Pick ATS 10/26/2017

The Clippers have been destroying opponents this season with an average winning margin of 25.3 points and lowest margin of victory being 16 points. That said they’ve had only three games on the season and the lone road game was against the Lakers in both team’s season opener. The Trailblazers have dropped just the one game this campaign and that came on the road against a good Bucks team and they didn’t embarrass themselves losing by three. The line of two points is low enough that if Portland can get the win they are likely to push or cover and that’s where my money is going to land.
