Philadelphia 76ers vs. Portland Trailblazers Prediction
Certainly, defense isn’t a strength for Philadelphia with the 25th ranked scoring defense, and they have allowed 8 of their last 210 opponents to score 100 or more points in regulation. However, they catch a Portland team that hasn’t played since the 23rd and may be a little rusty. The Trail Blazers haven’t actually been lighting up the scoreboard lately hitting triple digits in one of their last six.
