Portland Trail Blazers BettingThe Blazers know that winning as much games as possible is necessary to fulfil their NBA playoff aspirations. But with Damian Lillard out of action, Portland may need extra effort from players like CJ McCollum and Carmelo Anthony. Their offense has been falling short, averaging only 109.3 points in their last three games. The Blazers are not exactly that good in defense, meaning it will be a rough match against Indiana this Thursday. Players to watch: C.
