Portland was a bit of a disappointment last year. Setting the bar high in light of how much talent they have, the Blazers struggled with injury problems, losing Oden, Przybilla, and Brandon Roy for stretches of the season. The bar still remains high in Portland, as their depth and talent makes them a favorite in the West. For season prop bets, the Blazers had 30/1 odds for a championship, and I advocated that as a value bet based on their talent level. While it seems highly unlikely that the Blazers actually do win a championship this year, it is also not out of the realm of possiblity. LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy are entering their respective primes, and Portland’s wealth of depth makes them a tough team to deal with. Here are a look at some of the player prop bets available at Bodog for the Portland Trail Blazers.
