Prediction published on 3/12/25, 3:16 AM  by Lou Aguila | Modified on 3/12/25 at 3:18 AM in NBA Picks

Fresh off a big win in Sacramento, the New York Knicks resumes their West Coast trip on Wednesday, looking to earn their second straight victory against the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center. The Knicks ended their three-game slump emphatically, blasting the Sacramento Kings 133-104. With Jalen Brunson out for the next two weeks with a ankle injury, all five Knicks starters delivered key contributions to power their team to a much-needed win. Karl-Anthony Towns led the way with 26 points and 9 rebounds, while Miles McBride and OG Anunoby posted 21 and 24 points, respectively. New York has improved their record to 41-33, third in the Eastern Conference standings. The Blazers have lost their last four games, dropping 10 games below .500 with a 28-38 record. Portland suffered their latest setback against the Golden State Warriors 120-130 on March 11. David Avdija tallied 34 points on 11 for 15 shooting along with 16 boards. Anfernee Simmons also waxed hot with 32 points, yet their individual performance would not be enough to douse Stephen Curry and the red-hot Warriors.
