The Blazers are off to a good start. The Jazz and Spurs are right behind them at 3-1 entering Wednesday night.

Blazers are good again and they are undefeated. Miami has been the opposite of Portland and has started the season poorly. The Blazers will cover 3.5 points and stay undefeated if they continue their hot shooting.
