NBA Free Picks: Houston-Portland, Utah-LA Lakers Game 2
The first weekend of NBA playoff betting featured a few exciting road-team upset victories, while the two biggest sportsbook favorites cruised. What will Tuesday’s NBA betting action bring to the Jazz vs Lakers odds and the Rockets vs Trail Blazers odds?
Rockets vs Trail Blazers odds – Tuesday, April 21 at
One game is hardly enough to make a team hit the panic button, but
Despite the loss, Portland was one of NBA betting’s best home teams in the regular season, so online betting fans should expect the Blazers to bounce back and triumph at the Rose Garden in Game 2.
Online betting pick: Trail Blazers
Jazz vs Lakers odds – Tuesday, April 21 at
The Jazz vs Lakers line rivals the Cavaliers vs Pistons line for the least-exciting, easiest-to-predict matchup in NBA playoff betting. Game 1 went as scripted; the Lakers jumped out to a 22-point halftime lead and coasted the rest of the way. The Jazz were an awful road team in online betting this season and that problem should only be compounded in the playoffs. They’re simply not in the same league as the Lakers, even if Deron Williams (17 assists in Game 1) and Carlos Boozer (27 points) are bringing it. Don’t be surprised if the Jazz come out firing and jump to an early lead, but the Lakers will still take Game 2. Pick
