Prop Bets: Portland Trail Blazers VS Los Angeles Clippers 2025-10-26
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Clippers: A Comedy of Errors (with a Side of Clips)
The Portland Trail Blazers, fresh off their miraculous escape from FBI scrutiny, are set to face the Los Angeles Clippers in a matchup that’s as lopsided as a three-point shot from half-court. The Clippers (-8.5, -200) are favored to stomp the Blazers like a defensive guru on a highlight reel, but let’s not pretend this isn’t a chance for Portland to prove they’re not entirely a punchline.
The Math:
- Moneyline: Clippers at 1.29 (you’ll need a loan to bet on Portland at 3.7).
- Spread: Take the Clippers (-8.5) at -200 (it’s a layup, basically).
- Total: 225.5 (a number so high, even Ivica Zubac’s rebounds prop [2.5] will look like a triple-double).
Player Props to Waste Your Money On:
1. Kawhi Leonard will probably hit his 22.5 points over/under. He’s a future Hall of Famer, not a typo.
2. James Harden’s 8.5 assists line is a gift for contrarians: Bet under at -107 (he’s too old to dish 9 dimes in a 2025 world).
3. Ivica Zubac’s 2.5 rebounds over/under is a joke, but if you must bet, take the under. Zubac’s ceiling is a coffee table.
4. Deni Avdija’s 19.5 points over/under is a Hail Mary for Blazers fans. He’ll score 18, then trip over his own dribble.
The Prediction:
The Clippers will win 118-105, with Harden logging a triple-double at +1500 (a statistical fluke that’ll take a highlight-reel assist, a free throw, and a technical foul to achieve). Zubac will rack up 3 rebounds, just barely hitting the over. Portland’s 225.5 total? A fantasy. The Blazers will shoot 32% from deep, because hope is a four-letter word.
Final Thought:
Unless Damian Lillard’s ghost materializes and drops 50, this is a Clippers romp. But hey, if you really want to spice things up, bet the Blazers +8.5 and a Zubac double-double. It’s the sportsbook equivalent of ordering a “healthy” salad but then drowning it in ranch. You’ll regret it, but you’ll do it anyway.
Cover the spread, bet responsibly, and never trust a team with an FBI investigation on its résumé. 🏀
