We’re set for another betting prediction and pick for Saturday’s slate of NBA action as we head to Portland for this next cross-conference matchup. The Miami Heat (19-17) will take on the Portland Trail Blazers (13-24) as both sides face off for the first time this season.

The Miami Heat head to Moda Center to face the Portland Trail Blazers in a non-conference matchup. The Heat are 18-17, which puts them in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. The Trail Blazers are 13-23, which puts them in 13th place in the Western Conference.

The Jazz don’t offer much resistance on defense, allowing 118.5 points per game, a Bottom-5 mark in the NBA. It’s been even worse during this home slide, if you can believe it, as Utah is giving up 120.6 points per game, with teams shooting 48.5% from the field and 36.7% from 3-point range.
