In this game, we’ll see two teams with somewhat different realities: curiously, though, those who were supposedly better are stumbling, and those who are at the bottom are getting back on track. Trail Blazers vs Lakers looks like it will be a pretty interesting game.

Betting on the San Antonio Trail Blazers
Portland lost its footing horribly after a terrific start. They have certainly been spiraling and suffered four straight losses at one point. Despite winning in overtime against the Knicks 132-129, then they fell to Brooklyn 111-97.
With Jerami Grant on the court, they have hope. In his last two games, he scored 44 points (against the Knicks) and 29 points (against the Nets). The issue is that they are unable to hold leads: they lost both games despite having a slight advantage in each instance.
Moreover, they played a 4-game mini-tour away from home where they won only one game. This time, they return to Portland to play the Clippers. Interestingly, they have better away numbers than home, going 4-4 at home and 7-5 on the road. A quite odd team.
Betting on the Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James has returned, and he already has some excellent teammates like Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. I mean, it’s not like they weren’t on the team before, but they’ve just started to perform effectively. Without King James, Davis was the offensive leader and Westbrook served as a formidable sixth player.
Since LeBron’s return, the Lakers have a 2-1 record. Against San Antonio on Nov. 27, James scored 39 points, his best game of the season to date, also adding 11 rebounds. He looks connected and eager to help the Lakers, who were at a bad level, but have been recovering little by little.
They lost against Indiana yesterday by a score of 116-115, a very tight game that they could have won without any problem. Now, they are looking for someone to pay for it, and Portland seems to be the one who can pay the price. Are the Lakers finally back?
JefeBet Prediction
The Lakers play better at home than away. They have only lost two of their last five games, but during the last game against Indiana, they dominated much of the third and fourth periods. That’s why we think Portland will fall in Los Angeles and LeBron will have a great game in front of his home crowd.
Additionally, Davis and James are hard to contain, and Portland’s defense lacks the players to stop them. We also need to include Westbrook, who gives the team a boost when he joins. The Trail Blazers will definitely have a hard time in this game.
