Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season Record: 24-19
For the Dallas Mavericks, having Luka Doncic is like playing with cheat code. He has averaged 39.1 points, 11 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 10 games. It is a true luxury to be able to watch him play.
But not everything is good in Dallas. Injuries have thrown this team off a bit. Dallas had managed to attain 7 wins in a row at one point in the season, and that meant that it was one of the best winning streaks for the franchise in recent years. Now, the team lost a bit of power due to the injuries it has suffered.
Morover, it is clear that Doncic cannot do everything on his own, he only gets help from Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Green, who are not as healthy and whose absences really hurt the team. The end of the transfer window is approaching, and if they don’t strengthen themselves, they will suffer a bit later on.
Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Season Record: 19-22
The Trail Blazer have not been able to get back on their feet. They have already lost 5 games in a row, and their last defeat waas against the Cavs in a game that ended with a 119-113 score. They defend very poorly and they don’t seem to be able to take advantage of the great moment Damian Lillard is having, so he does what he can.
Against the Cavs, he only scored 50 points, and he has averaged 28.0 points over the last 10 games played. He is undoubtedly the best player of this team, a team that is still fighting for a place in the Play-In, but which is currently stuck and not able to move forward.
The Trail Blazer are just one game behind the Timberwolves, but in order to catch up with them, they have to win. The worst of it all is that they are not playing badly. Almost in the whole game against the Suns, they were winning and they even seemed to have shaken off the bad luck, but then, they fell.
JefeBet Prediction
This Mavericks vs Trail Blazers clash is going to be a very even game. Dallas is stumbling around, and Portland is not playing badly, but falls down when they are having a good moment. People often say that every cloud has a silver lining. Despite it all, Doncic and the Trail Blazers will take the win at home.
