Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Season record: 16-12
- DraftKings Spread: +4
- DraftKings Moneyline: +145
- Over/Under: N/A.
The Portland Trail Blazers recovered the level they showed in the first games of the season and are now showing a similar performance. Getting back-to-back wins is helping them escalate positions in the Western Conference standings, and if they continue on that path, they will have more chances to qualify to the playoffs.
They are struggling to maintain positive streaks, but in December they are performing better than in mid-November. They occupy the second place in the Northwest Division as the team with the second-fewest losses. They defeated the Spurs by a score of 128-112, and now they register three consecutive wins heading into the matchup with the Mavs.
Betting on the Dallas Mavericks
- Season record: 14-14
- DraftKings Spread: -4
- Moneyline of DraftKings: -170
- Over/Under: N/A.
For some, the Dallas Mavericks have fallen short after two months of the NBA regular season, but others, the more optimistic ones, can be satisfied and even excited with what they have seen. The hopes of the Dallas franchise are pinned on Slovenian Luka Dončić, who continues to break records and give his best in every game.
There has been light and shade for the Mavericks, but they are in third place in the Southwest Division and so far inside the playoff spots. There is still a long way to go, but if the victories come on a continuous basis, they will soon be able to appear at the top of the Western Conference. Before this game against Portland, they fell to the Cavaliers 105-90.
JefeBet Prediction
The Mavericks will be at home in this game, and although they are separated by several places in the Western Conference, with the Trail Blazers in a better position, the Texan franchise has the most recent record in its favor, with five consecutive victories. The most recent one that took place this season was also at home.
Prediction: Dallas Mavericks win by 5 points.
