Cavaliers vs. Trail Blazers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 26, 2025

The Cavaliers face off against the Blazers today and they will be without Donovan Mitchell for this contest. De’Andre Hunter should see a bit of an uptick for the Cavs. Hunter is averaging 14.2 points per game during his Cavs tenure and has exceeded this 12.5 line in 10/18 games. In the two without Mitchell, he scored 18 and then 32 against this same Blazers team. His minutes have been extremely consistent, but here he has some upside given the matchup and Mitchell’s absence. I’ll back Hunter on Tuesday night.

Cavs just 1-4 in last 5 — only win vs tanking Jazz. Mitchell OUT, Mobley iffy. Portland 4-2 on homestand, beat Denver & Memphis, hung 129 on Boston. Blazers fighting for play-in, Cavs cruising to playoffs. Spot edge + motivation spike = value on the points. Blazers also covered 6 of last 8 overall. Cleveland allowed 121.5 PPG during 4-game skid. Opponents hitting 48.2% from field, 39.7% from deep in that span — perimeter defense slipping. Trail Blazers 13th in 3PM/game, 7th in Offensive Rebound%. 2nd-chance points + rhythm shots = cover potential. Cavs' pace dropped in March — matchup risk. Shaedon Sharpe heating up — back-to-back 23-point games. Blazers scored 129 in last matchup vs Cavs (OT loss). Cavs wrapping 5-game road trip, legs tired. Portland 20-17 at home, last 3 losses all vs playoff teams. Simons expected to play — major boost. Portland has covered 3 straight vs East teams.
