Los Angeles Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Kennedy Kechula | in NBA Prediction
The Los Angeles Lakers will be at home to welcome the Portland Trail Blazers next in the NBA. Both teams are struggling in the Western Conference where at the moment the Lakers are 10th and Blazers 14th. The Lakers will be seeking to get back to .500 with a win here. Darvin Ham’s men have lost 22 of their 43 matches and are coming off a defeat. Suffering their third defeat in five outings, the Lakers were undone 130-112 at home by the Nets. Another defeat could see them drop out of the playoff places. But as they have won both meetings with the Blazers this season, the hosts will be confident of success here. The Lakers possess the 18th ranked offence and are averaging 114.5 points a night. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Taurean Prince, and Cam Reddish are listed as ‘Questionable’ for this match.
The Portland Trail Blazers also have a long injury list and could be without five players for this trip. Shaedon Sharpe, Moses Brown, and Robert Williams III are out while Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson are doubts. Chauncey Billups’ men have won their last two games and this is the first time in almost two months they have done so. The Blazers have been one of the whipping boys this season and at present have lost 29 of 41 matches. Before this newfound form, they had lost four in a row. Both wins have been close and have all been one-possession victories. After defeating the Nets by two in the first game, Portland won by three against the Pacers last time out. The Blazers possess the worst-rated attack in the league and are averaging 104.5 points when on the road.

Our Los Angeles Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction
Our prediction for the LA Lakers v Portland Trail Blazers is for the match to produce under 230.0 points. Matches between these two teams this season haven’t been high-scoring affairs and we feel this latest encounter won’t be the exception. Portland possesses the worst-rated attack in the league and is scoring barely above 100 points when on the road. The Lakers on the other hand are averaging their lowest points tally when at home. This match is also likely to have both teams miss several of their starters.
