The Portland Trail Blazers will play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Moda Center in the NBA on Sunday night. The Blazers (23-26) are ninth in the Western Conference standings, while the Cavs (29-21) are fifth in the East. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

The Portland Trail Blazers are enduring a tough run of late, now on a four-game losing streak after getting thumped by the New York Knicks 127-97 on the road on Friday night. 

The Blazers were on the back foot from the off against the Knicks, having allowed 37 points in the first quarter. Shaedon Sharpe was the only player to surpass 20 points in the match. 

Portland now return home after three games on the road. They are 13-11 at the Moda Center this season and have won three of their last four at this venue. 

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have won seven of their last nine games, but they saw their five-game win streak ended on Friday when they were beaten 126-113 by the Phoenix Suns. 

The Cavaliers were right in the contest at halftime but allowed 35 points in the third quarter, which ultimately decided the outcome. Donovan Mitchell had a forgettable night, scoring just 16 points with very poor shooting percentages.

Cleveland are 12-10 on the road this season. However, they were beaten by this opponent at home 122-110 back in December.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Trail Blazers are in need of a positive result to end their four-game losing run, but they are severely short-handed with Damian Lillard, Blake Wesley, Matisse Tybulle and Scoot Henderson all sidelined at present.

The Cavaliers will be without Max Strus, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, but they have still won seven of their last nine games, and we feel they will be able to get the cover on this thin line. Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is Cleveland Cavaliers -2.5.
