Spread -2.5 • Portland Trail Blazers

Take it and move on: Portland Trail Blazers -2.5 -112. I’m laying this confidently because the matchup and situational edges favor Portland — disciplined close-game execution will matter and this price is worth 4 units for someone who trusts process over panic. Remember, the -2.5 line requires Portland to win by more than 2.5 points, so I expect them to be the team dictating the final possessions rather than letting it become a coin flip.
