Last year, teams met three times and as a result of these meetings, the Lakers are leading, having 2 victories against one in Portland. This year teams played only one match in February. Portland won. The game clearly showed the dominance of Portland, as the Lakers were able to get ahead of their rival only at the end of the second quarter and in the other three, the Portland were head and shoulders above.

Lakers

Colorado almost made it to their goal and advanced to the next round of the playoffs and all they had to do was deliver a control blow. Recall that after two victories in a row over Arizona, the team failed with a score of 2:4, but in the next meeting they defeated the opponent with a score of 7:1, leaving no chance. By the way, Avalanches scored three goals in the first and third periods, while Nazem Qadri scored a double. Philip Grubauer didn’t have much work at goal, but still they coped with it well, reflecting 14 shots out of 15. In general, such big victories are not typical for Bednar’s team and often his players score less than four goals per game.

Portland

The Blazers made their way to the playoffs with their own hands. The team worked very hard and quite rightly took the eighth line in the Western Conference. Recall that in the last meeting, Terry Stots’ charges defeated Memphis and secured the right to play in the 1/8 finals. After the restart of the season Portland was simply unrecognizable, especially the leader Damian Lillard, who worked wonders on the floor in almost every fight. The team lost only twice, as it turned out to be weaker than Boston (124-128) and Clippers (117-122). Now the trackers will have to confront the Lakers, although after they have passed the Blazers they are not afraid of any opponent.

Prediction

Despite the presence of LeBron James, the team has not looked very well lately. Frank Vogel's wards need to gather strength, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to pass Portland with such a game. In our opinion, the Blazers are now on the move and capable of repelling the Lakers or at least avoiding the defeat so accurately, so we expect that the bet on the positive odds of Terry Stots' team will pass. Our prediction is the victory of the Portland Trail Blazers, taking into account the handicap (+9.5) points for the odds of 1.50 in BC 1xBet Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.50 Promo code for registration - ODDS2WIN
