Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular Season Record: 29-33
Damian Lillard is putting forth an impressive effort to keep his team alive in the current season with a series of incredible individual performances.
Of course, his historic 71-point game against the Rockets last February 26 gets all the attention, but overall and in his last 10 games, he has averages of 39.4 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 50.5% shooting from the field and 40.7% shooting from three-point range..
His performances have been so good that recently, in a game against Golden State Warriors, his Over/Under points were placed at 38.5 at most sportsbooks.
Betting on the Orlando Magic
- Regular Season Record: 26-37
Orlando has somewhat exceeded expectations this season. The fact that they are still alive at this stage of the campaign is something only a few expected from such a young roster.
Paolo Banchero is getting all the attention (and rightfully so), but the franchise also has to be very pleased with the solid performance shown by Markelle Fultz,who is averaging 16.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 51.9% shooting from the field in his last 10 games.
JefeBet Prediction
The Orlando Magic surpassed the Portland Trail Blazers 109-106 in the first meeting between the two in the current season. Franz Wagner was the star player of the match with 29 points scored.
Taking into account that Portland has major absences such as Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic, at JefeBet we consider the Orlando Spread to be the odd to take advantage of, since the Florida team has very good chances of defeating this rival again.
Prediction: Orlando Magic Spread
