Knicks vs. Trailblazers Odds

The Knicks vs. Trailblazers odds for tonight’s game (January 11, 2011) was listed at Portland -4 with a total of 203.5. 

The Knicks travel to Portland for the third leg of their four-game road trip to take on the Blazers.

Portland is coming off an impressive showing against the unbeatable Heat, losing in OT after leading by seven points with just over two minutes remaining. It’s hard to fault a team that lost to an opponent that has won 21 of 22 games, but the Blazers knew they blew a golden opportunity. That loss snapped Portland’s eight-game home win streak and dropped its record to 10-6 ATS at home as they were five-point underdogs in a game they lost by seven. LaMarcus Aldridge continued his excellent play, scoring 31 points grabbing 14 boards and dishing out seven assists against Miami. He became the first player in Blazers history to record five straight games of 25 points and 10 rebounds as he has averaged 27.8 PPG and 11.6 RPG while shooting 51.9 percent over his past five games. The Blazers’ second leading scorer, Brandon Roy, hasn’t played since Dec. 15 and remains out indefinitely with two sore knees.

Despite losing three of their last five ATS on the road, the Knicks are still one of the best teams in NBA ATS this season both on the road (14-5) and overall (23-12). However, they are just 5-5 in their last 10 games ATS. The Knicks shot a season-low 36 percent from the field in their 109-87 loss against the Lakers on Sunday. The Blazers have only allowed 100 points in four of their 16 home games this season, so don’t look for the Knicks to get any better looks on Tuesday. Amar’e Stoudemire extended his streak of scoring at least 20 points to 21 games on Sunday, scoring 23 for the second consecutive game, but shot a dreadful 7-for-24 from the field. Stoudemire has failed to score 20 points in just seven games this season, but one of those games came against Portland in the Knicks’ 100-95 loss to the Blazers at MSG on October 30.
