Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular Season Record: 14-12
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (Not defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (Undefined)
After a bad streak, where they suffered three consecutive defeats, have lost only two of the last five games in which they have shown a remarkable improvement, and are fighting, along with the Kings, to catch Phoenix, which is slipping badly in the Western Conference.
Damian Lillard is playing spectacular: Against Denver, where they lost by a score of 121-120, he scored 40 points and 12 assists. Against Minnesota, he scored 36 and dished out 8 assists in the 124-118 win.
Portland will start a six-visit road trip where they have to win because they have to take advantage of the Suns’ bad moment to try to catch them in the top of the standings. It is only two games that they need to make it, so it is possible. They are also a positive visitor so far, with an 8-6 record when playing on the road.
Betting on the San Antonio Spurs
- Regular Season Record: 8-18
- BetMGM Spread: (To be defined)
- BetMGM Moneyline: (Not defined)
- BetMGM Over/Under: (Undefined)
The Spurs have already remembered what winning feels like after 11 consecutive losses. When they beat Houston 118-109, they were like “what now?”, they improved even more and beat Miami by 115-111. Portland has already seen the light.
Keldon Johnson has been the MVP of these two victories, where they cut one of the worst streaks of this season. Against the Rockets, he scored 32 points and pulled down 7 rebounds; and against the Heat, he scored 21 points. He’s on fire, as it is commonly said.
At home, they are a check to the bearer; I mean, they have just come out of the rough patch, let’s not ask too much of them. They are 4-10, while as visitors they are 4-8. They don’t win anywhere, basically, but this small improvement can help mentally.
JefeBet Prediction
Unfortunately, San Antonio will not be able to beat the Trail Blazers, who are infinitely better. The Spurs are barely remembering that the ball goes in the basket, let’s not ask much more of them.
It will be very useful for Portland to win, because they can climb a lot of positions in the playoffs. We must take advantage of Phoenix’s slump to pass them.
Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers Spread.
