Trail Blazers vs Nets Prediction

The current betting odds have the Trail Blazers listed as a 5.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Trail Blazers have been playing very well this year as they got off to a very hot start at the beginning of the season but they have been starting to slip in their games lately. They haven't been as good lately since they have been missing their best player Lillard due to injury troubles, but just because they haven't been as dominant in games doesn't mean they aren't still playing well. They have still been winning games and even when they are huge underdogs they manage to keep the game close and even win it outright sometimes. The Nets are below .500 this year and they have been dealing with a bunch of issues off the court in their organization. They finally have their big 3 back on the court together but they still lost a game in Indiana the other night and the Trail Blazers have a much better team here along with a great road record this year. The Trail Blazers will find a way to keep another game close here and they could even win this one outright too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game.
 
Trail Blazers Nets Prediction:  Our NBA Pick for Sunday, November 27, 2022 (3:00 pm ET start time) is Trail Blazers 122 Nets 119.
