The Portland Trail Blazers look to end a 4-game road losing streak as they visit Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks. I’ve prepared a same game parlay which you can find below.
Be sure to also check our predictions on the side and total for the rest of Wednesday’s action, but let’s jump into the Blazers vs Knicks game first.
Portland Trail Blazers 1-10 win margin (+500)
Evan Fournier over 3.5 made threes (+102)
RJ Barrett over 3.5 assists (-128)
Parlay odds: +2111
Portland Trail Blazers 1-10 win margin (+500)
Portland beat New York 112-103 a month ago with Anfernee Simons scoring 30 points. He won’t be playing tonight, but even without him the Wizards have split their last 2 games against Washington and Atlanta. Josh Hart had 44 and 31 points in those games, and he will be the focal point of the offense in tonight’s game as well. The Knicks have dropped 2 in a row at Memphis and at Brooklyn, and they are returning home after a long 7-game road trip. This will be their 1st home game in March, so we could see them struggling to adapt. Playing at MSG hasn’t been kind to them this season, they are only 13-19 SU and on a 5-game losing streak there. With the Blazers winning 8 of the last 10 meetings, they have a chance of pulling off the upset.

Evan Fournier over 3.5 made threes (+102)
Evan Fournier has a habit of going hot and cold for long stretches this season, and right now he is on a really solid streak, scoring at least 3 threes in 3 of his last 4 games and is coming off 5 threes in the weekend game against Brooklyn. His production has declined a bit if we compare February and March. Last month he averaged 4.4 threes per game, while this month that’s down to 2.6. Still, if he knocks down an early one we can expect a solid game from him. Portland ranks dead last in the NBA in 3-point percentage allowed, with teams averaging 36.8% of makes against them for the season. Hopefully Fournier can take advantage.
RJ Barrett over 3.5 assists (-128)
Judging by RJ Barrett’s last 9 games, getting to 4 assists shouldn’t be a problem tonight. He has averaged 4.2 per game during that stretch while scoring 26.4 points per game. He’s managed to get to 4 assists in 5 of his last 7 games and against a Blazers team allowing almost 120 points on a nightly basis there will be plenty of opportunities to dish some passes. The Blazers also rank just 29th in opponent assists per game, allowing 26.3 this season, and over their last 3 games that number is up to 28.3, which also helps our bet.
