POR Blazers

The Trail Blazers hosted Phoenix at the Moda Center last game and managed to break the losing streak, which eventually reached seven consecutive games. The team stopped the opponent's superstar offense, allowing the opponent to score only 5 three-pointers and 23 three-pointers. At the same time, Portland realized 14 long-range attempts out of 28. Anfernee Simons scored 23 points on 2-of-7 from distance, Jerami Grant 22 points on 3-of-4, Malcolm Brogdon 14 points on 4-of-9. As a result - 109:104 in favor of the Trail Blazers.

Portland is only 7-19 overall. The team is ahead of only Memphis and San Antonio in the West.

WAS Wizards

Wizards also recently met with Phoenix, but unlike Portland, lost - 108:112 on the road. After that game, Washington traveled to Sacramento, where they also lost - 131:143. And if the Trail Blazers have difficulties on offense, the team once again proved in the game against the Kings that they can't defend. In particular, from two-point shots, of which Sacramento realized more than 60%.

Washington is penultimate in the East with a 4-22 record, ahead of only Detroit.

Expert Betting Tips

Only Indiana is worse than Washington at defending against two-point shots in this league. But Portland is weak from three-point range and from mid-range, so the Trail Blazers are unlikely to score too much in the upcoming game. At the same time, Portland is in the top-5 in two-point offense, while Washington is just as efficient on offense. This could be the key factor in the Wizards' victory. We bet on the visitors, but we expect Portland to win on three-pointers - the Trail Blazers have a great defense on the arc. Also, bet on TU on rebounds - both teams are at the bottom of the rankings in this component of the game.
