based on a statistical angle/trend. The trend happens to be very good at 7 times out of 10 the team that qualifies in this situation, does cover, but also 3 of those 10 times they dont.
Sacramento, IMO, has a statement to make as they were totally outplayed and emabarrassed, at home. It is a short trip to Portland, and Sac. is execllent against the Div.
They should come out shooting better and have a mission to destroy the Trailblazers at home.
So, I'm combining a trend play with a strong emotional factor here, which is why I feel it is a strong play.
