Trail Blazers vs. Wizards Prediction, Odds and Best NBA Prop Bets for Tuesday, Jan. 27

The Portland Trail Blazers are back in action on Tuesday night after a 102-94 loss in Boston last night. Portland did barely cover in that one, though, closing as +8.5 underdogs against the Celtics.

The Blazers have a good chance to get back in the win column as they visit the lowly Washington Wizards. The Wizards have lost nine straight games to fall to 10-34 on the season.

This will be the first meeting this season after Portland swept the two-game series last year.

The oddsmakers have the Wizards as home underdogs at the best betting sites on Tuesday night.

Let’s take a look at the odds, players to watch and my prediction for Tuesday night’s NBA matchup.

Trail Blazers vs. Wizards Best NBA Prop Bets

Trail Blazers Best NBA Prop Bet

Jrue Holiday OVER 11.5 Points (-119)

After missing two months with an injury, Jrue Holiday is back and ramping things up for the Trail Blazers. They eased him back into things in his first few games, and sat him on a back-to-back, but he’s now scored 15, 21, and 14 points in his last three games, playing 24:27 last night in Boston.

This back-to-back will be a good test for Holiday, and he did just fine in his only other game on no days rest this season. Granted, that was only the fourth game of the year, but he had 24 points against the Lakers after putting up 21 points against the Clippers the night before.

This line feels a few points too low for a healthy Holiday, even on the back-to-back.

Trail Blazers vs. Wizards Prediction and Pick

This is the Trail Blazers’ 10th back-to-back situation of the season already, and there’s been a constant trend in the first nine: unders. The under is 7-2 in those nine games, including last week against the Raptors.

Portland’s offense has been scuffling a bit in the last two games as it failed to reach 100 points, and we know that the Wizards don’t have much going for them offensively. This should be an ugly, low-scoring game in Washington tonight.

Pick: UNDER 232.5 (-116)
