Schuyler Callihan: Trail Blazers 102, Hornets 98
My gut is telling me Portland wins by a landslide but my mind is saying Charlotte somehow finds a way to keep this one close. The Blazers should pretty much have their full complimentary of guys but they are a little banged up and this is a situation where they may go a little lighter and overlook the Hornets. Portland wins but the Hornets show fight.

The Trail Blazers have been playing great basketball standing at 7-3 and 3rd in the West through 10 games.
