Trail Blazers vs Mavericks Prediction

Portland has the stronger offense and a much deeper bench, while Dallas continues to deal with injuries and scoring problems. The Blazers’ main group is intact, and perimeter scoring should hold up against a Mavericks defense that has been average on the glass. The short-handed Mavericks will have a hard time keeping pace on the road. Final Score Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers win and cover ATS 121-111.
