Betting on the Portland Trail Blazers
- Regular Season Record: 26-26
The Trail Blazers had a rough start to 2023 but have recently picked up steam, winning 5 of their last 6 games, including their last three. They now have a .500 record.
The recent wins, including last night’s 124-116 victory against the Washington Wizards, are particularly impressive as they came on the road. Anfernee Simons and Damian Lillard led the way with 33 and 29 points respectively.
Despite their current good form, playing away from home has been a challenge for the Trail Blazers this season with a 12-15 record and an average of 109.0 points scored and 112.2 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Chicago Bulls
- Season record: 24-27
The season is reaching its peak and the Bulls are still searching for stability to secure a playoff spot. Although they are currently within the playoff positions, with only a 0.5 game lead over their closest competitor, they have limited room for error.
The Bulls come into this game after a positive outcome, defeating the Charlotte Hornets 98-114 at home, with Ayo Dosunmu leading the way with 22 points and 3 assists.
Coach Billy Donovan’s team recognizes the importance of taking advantage of this opportunity to get a win, especially since they have performed better at home with 14 wins in 25 games, averaging 114.6 points scored and 112.3 points allowed per game.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite being on the road, the Trail Blazers should not be underestimated as they are in great form and have won six of their eight games after playing the night before.
On the other hand, the Bulls will have the advantage of playing at home, but their inconsistency does not instill confidence. Recent losses to teams like the Hornets, Pacers, and Thunder only reinforce this.
The Blazers have won in four of their last five visits to Chicago and, with their recent success and the Bulls’ struggles to string together wins, it is expected that they will put up a strong fight and at least cover the spread.
Prediction: Portland Trail Blazers Spread.
