What to Know

The Portland Trail Blazers haven't won a matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans since March 15 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought on Wednesday. They will face off at 9 p.m. ET Feb. 17 at Smoothie King Center without much rest after finishing up games yesterday.

Portland didn't have too much trouble with the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road on Tuesday as they won 115-104. Rip City's point guard Damian Lillard did his thing and dropped a double-double on 31 points and ten dimes in addition to seven boards.

Meanwhile, New Orleans took their contest on the road on Tuesday with ease, bagging a 144-113 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The game was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Pelicans had established a 101-81 advantage. It was another big night for their power forward Zion Williamson, who had 31 points and six assists along with seven rebounds.

The Trail Blazers are expected to lose this next one by 4. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

Their wins bumped Portland to 17-10 and New Orleans to 12-15. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Portland and the Pelicans clash.
