Portland Trail Blazers

This season the Blazers are only suffering, not playing, but this fact can be explained. The club has been playing for a long time without its leader Damian Lillard, who was in charge of the attacking line, plus a number of key players are injured and it is almost impossible to replace them.

Portland lost four games in a row, although they all took place at home. The team could not resist the pressure from San Antonio (96-133), Oklahoma (131-134) and twice lost to Houston. As you can see, Chauncey Billups' wards are going through a protracted crisis and, most likely, they are already thinking about the end of the season.

New Orleans Pelicans

The Pelicans are trying to build momentum, although recently victories have alternated with defeats. The team managed to break into the play-in zone and is now trying to maintain at least the ninth line in the West.

The last confrontation ended in favor of New Orleans, who dealt with the Lakers (116-108). Brandon Ingram, as always, was in the spotlight and tore apart the opponent's defense. Willie Green's guys probably know about the problems of the Pathfinders, so they will try to get the most out of this moment, although the Pelicans are not very confident away.

Prediction

The change in head coach benefited New Orleans. Still, the management listened to the fans and the results were not encouraging. The Pelicans began to act more steadily and moved to the ninth line in the West.

Portland has already realized that it will not work out this season. Many key players are in the infirmary, but no one has canceled the fight, especially if the game takes place at the Moda Center home arena. In our opinion, bookmakers underestimate the hosts.

Our prediction is for a handicap (+16.5) points for Portland Trail Blazers for odds of 1.63 in BC 1xBet.

The Blazers are not afraid to go for broke. The Pelicans began to act again in an attacking manner and all thanks to the philosophy of the new coach. We assume that there will be a spectacle on the floor and the opponents will break through the total.

Second bet is for a total over 223.5 points for 1.57.

Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 1.63.
