Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Season record: 10-7
- BetMGM Spread: [Por definir]
- BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir]
- BetMGM Over/Under: [Por definir]
Although the Trail Blazers have been one of the most pleasant surprises of the season, they seem to be starting to run out of gas, now on a four-game losing streak and with just one win in their last six games, so perhaps the Thanksgiving break came at the right time.
The Trail Blazers have a 6-4 away record, however, three of those losses have come in their last three away games, the most recent being to the Cleveland Cavaliers last Wednesday by 96-114, evidencing once again the difficulties they have in scoring this campaign.
Chauncey Billups’ team is the sixth-worst offensive team in the NBA with an average of 109.2 points scored per game.This is not likely to change anytime soon, given that their main player, Damiam Lillard (26.3 points, 7.0 assists per game), is injured and will not be back until the end of December.
Betting on the New York Knicks
- Season record: 9-9
- BetMGM Spread: [Por definir]
- BetMGM Moneyline: [Por definir]
- BetMGM Over/Under: [Por definir]
The Knicks haven’t fared much better than the Blazers, but at least they’ll be happy to return home after a five-game road trip in which they managed to win three games. Still, the Knicks have a lot of room for improvement, given that they boast of an average of 113.3 points scored and 115.5 points allowed per game.
The New York team also arrives physically prepared after four days of rest, with its last performance being a win by 129-119 against the Oklahoma City Thunder last Monday. It was a game in which they counted on a great performance by Jalen Brunson, who registered 34 points and 9 assists, while Julius Randle and R.J. Barrett contributed 25 points each.
Playing at home may not have helped the Knicks so far this season (4-3), however, they will certainly be confident of a good result considering that they have won by more than 10 points the last three times they have hosted the Trail Blazers..
JefeBet Prediction
Despite their defensive woes, the Knicks know they have a good chance to perform well on that front today when they host a Trail Blazers team that is missing its best scorer and has looked a bit unproductive recently.
Also, if there is one good thing the Knicks have done, it is related to their offense, with Brunson who has fit in great with the team and Randle and Barrett who tend to give constant contributions, so this will not be an easy game for the Blazers.
The Knicks have rested considerably this week, while the Blazers rested yesterday, but they already have a few days on the road, so their strength is not the same. That’s why we expect the Knicks to take advantage of their opponent’s accumulated fatigue, show their superiority and take another big win over Portland.
Prediction: New York Knicks win by 5 points.
