Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Season record: 29-32.
The Portland Trail Blazers will have to travel to another team’s home court after facing the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. The away performance of this franchise has not been at all positive in the current campaign, as they have lost 18 of the 30 games they have played so far.
One of the reasons why they are in the eleventh position in the overall standings in the Eastern Conference, apart from their poor performance away from home, is the poor performance in their defensive lines, where they average 115.4 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Season record: 31-31.
The Atlanta Hawks could not extend the positive streak they had strung together by winning two games in a row, being defeated against the Wizards in their most recent meeting by 119-116. Not even the home venue did not help them to win the game, which is strange because so far they have achieved a good record at the State Farm Arena, winning 17 of the 30 games they have played.
They have even won 4 of their 5 most recent duels at their home stadium, encouraging numbers to receive the Trail Blazers, an opponent they have beaten in the last 3 meetings played at their pavilion.
The Hawks are in the top 10 of franchises with the best offensive performance, averaging 116.9 points per night, an amount that they should try to equal or surpass when they host a team that has nothing to envy them in this aspect.
JefeBet Prediction
Led by Damian Lillard, Portland’s leading scorer (32.1), the Trail Blazers are averaging just over 115 points per game, a figure they will try to use against a powerful opponent in this facet.
In fact, their last four matches have ended with a high final score, which is not unusual for two teams that do not focus on defending in the best way. Therefore, this trend is expected to continue this Friday, with an entertaining and evenly matched game with a high number of units on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Over.
