NBA action continues on Saturday at 10:00PM ET as the Charlotte Hornets take on the favored Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center.

Based on updated simulation results and today’s injury updates, Dimers' advanced NBA model (see Dimers Pro for full access) projects the Trail Blazers as the most likely winner of today's game.

"Our team has used the latest data to run 10,000 simulations of Saturday's Charlotte-Portland game," said Damien Souness from Dimers.
