Portland Trail Blazers

The Trail Blazers enter the game in 12th place in the Western Conference. Chauncey Billups' team is still a play-in contender. With a record of 29-39, Portland is just 3.5 wins away from a top-10 finish.

Last time out, the Blazers hosted Toronto and won 105-102. Portland has won 14 of their previous 25 games. The Oregon team is seventh in the Western Conference.

Washington Wizards

On the eve of their trip to Portland, the Wizards won back-to-back games against their conference's playoff rivals. First, Washington overcame the Pistons in Detroit (129-125), and then, Washington got the better of Denver in Colorado (126-123). The Nuggets played this game in a back-to-back format, but that is not the capital team's problem.

As you can see from their recent results, Brian Keefe's side is back to playing up-tempo offensive basketball, even if they have just 15 wins in 66 games this season. Washington has been bottom of the Eastern Conference for most of the season.

H2H Stats

The all-time series is 1-0 in favor of Portland, and the rivals have traded victories in the last two championships.

Expert Betting Tips

Washington has recently returned to attacking basketball, which is how they started this championship. Portland has also been perfect offensively in the regular season's second half, so we will look for a higher total. In addition, the first meeting between the rivals was very productive.
