New York Knicks v Portland Trail Blazers: Prediction for the NBA match
In full-time matches of these teams, 33 matches were recorded. New York won 9 victories, while Portland recorded only 24 victories. When making a prediction for the match between New York Knicks and Portland Trail Blazers, you should pay attention to the fact that the last three out of four matches ended in favor of Portland.
New York Knicks
If we compare the previous season and the current one, then there has been no improvement in the New York game. The Tom Thibodeau team is still unstable. The Knicks have yet to put on an impressive winning streak. Because of this, they continue to flounder at the end of the top ten in the East. In the last match, New York defeated Oklahoma on the road (129:119). True, before that the Knicks suffered two setbacks. First they lost to the Golden State (101:111) and then lost to the Phoenix (95:116).
Portland Trail Blazers
Portland went on a losing streak. But this happened after the departure of Damian Lillard. The leader of the Trail Blazers was injured and did not play in recent matches. The rest of the players unsuccessfully tried to replace him. The last time Chauncey Billups’ underdogs won ten days ago when they defeated San Antonio (117:110). After that, they issued a series of four defeats. In previous fights, Portland failed to oppose anything to Milwaukee (111:119) and Cleveland (96:114).
Prediction
Do not expect high performance from this meeting. Portland has problems with the attack. In the last match, for example, the Pathfinders scored only 96 points. At times, "New York" also gives out failed fights. Most likely, the team will not break the mark of 224.5 points. Our prediction is for the total under 224.5 points for odds of 1.77 in 1xBet bookmaker. "New York" can not be called a stable team. You never know what to expect from Thibodeau's men.
