Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) is leaning towards the Trailblazers -6…
Thomas: “It’s a game where I’d prefer not to invest in. The Trailblazers are not 100%, but this is a great spot for the Trailblazers to win by margin against the Wizards. Betting on the Blazers, would require faith in a team who is just 29-39 and has only won four of their last 10 games.”
