Portland vs Brooklyn Prediction: the Trail Blazers Should Confirm Their Status

Brooklyn's performance has been poor in the first half of the season, with the team losing a lot of games. Will Jordi Fernandez's team also lose the away game against Portland? Telecomasia is offering a prediction for this game. We'll take a look at the bookmakers' odds, statistical trends and pick a few betting options.

Portland

The Trail Blazers seem to be in with a chance of making it into the tournament, unlike the Nets. At the moment, Chauncey Billups' team, although they are only 13th in the Western Conference, have won 13 games and lost 25 games, 6.0 wins away from the play-in zone.

However, Portland has failed their previous two matches. First, they lost to Dallas after being in the lead for most of the game (111-117), and then to Miami at home (98-119). But they have won four out of the last nine games, which is pretty good going.

Brooklyn

The Nets are playing their third away game. Jordi Fernandez's team started this series with a 19-point loss to Denver (105-124). Then Brooklyn played a real concert match against Utah, the last team in the West, and lost in overtime, 111-112 (102-102). This means the Nets have now failed five games in a row, losing 16 of the last 20 games. In the Eastern Conference, New York is still in 12th place with 13 wins and 26 defeats, but they don't mind dropping even lower.

H2H Meetings

Last season, Portland beat Brooklyn twice: 105-103 at home and 134-127 (115-115) in overtime away. A season earlier, the Nets beat Brooklyn twice – 109-107 away and 111-97 at home.
