FACTORS THAT FAVOR THE UNDER:

This year when they are away from home, their opposition has shot 50.0% on field goal attempts (3rd-highest in the NBA) vs. the Portland Trail Blazers, marking this as a good matchup.The least up-tempo tempo road team in the league over the last 25 games has been the Miami Heat.The Portland Trail Blazers have played at the 3rd-most lethargic pace-of-play in the NBA on their home court this year, which should reduce opportunities for the Miami Heat.The Heat check in as the 4th-worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA on the road this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore reduce additional chances for scoring and assists).This matchup may be a strong one for getting to the free-throw line; when the Portland Trail Blazers are at home, opposing teams have attempted a massive 23.2 foul shots per game over the last 5 games (4th-most in the NBA).
