Trail Blazers vs Heat Pick

Portland G Shaedon Sharpe is dealing with a calf issue and is listed as probable for this contest. These two teams rank in the top half of the league defensive, so my lean on the total is the under. Take the Trail Blazers to follow up a huge home victory against the NBA champs with a road victory against the Heat. Final Score Prediction, Portland Trail Blazers win 119-114.
