NBA (53-58-1; 9-4 PO's)

(10-11; 1-1 PO's):

PORTLAND -1.5 (I believe the Blazers catch the Hawks in a nice spot here; Atlanta is travelling across the country with only one day in between games; the Blazers have lost four straight, but all four to above average teams; they are in the role of favorite for the first time this year; lay the low number and look for the Blazers to end the four game skid with an 8-10 point win)
