Blazers -274
Bottom line:
If you’re laying juice, Blazers moneyline is the safer, higher-confidence angle than ATS, backed by team quality, matchup, and probability.
- Clear quality gap: Portland is the stronger, more stable team; Washington is near the bottom of the league and on a losing trend.
- Win probability matches the price: Models put Portland around 70-75% to win, which aligns with ML odds (~-260/-280). Not a trap favorite.
- Offense vs. defense mismatch: Blazers’ scoring depth vs. a Wizards defense allowing 120+ PPG gives Portland a consistent edge.
- Head-to-head confidence: Portland has handled Washington well in recent matchups.
- Lower variance than the spread: ML avoids back-door cover risk in a late close game.
