Basketball betting: Los Angeles Lakers / Portland Trail Blazers

As part of the next NBA game day, the Los Angeles Lakers will meet with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Los Angeles Lakers

After nine meetings of the regular season, the Los Angeles Lakers have only 4 victories. We shouldn’t have expected anything incredible; LeBron won’t last forever, although even under such circumstances we need to make it to the playoffs. In the last meeting, the team defeated strong Phoenix away with a score of 122:119, this success allowed them to break a streak of three defeats in a row. The club had two personnel losses before this confrontation.

Portland Trail Blazers

The Portland Trail Blazers are expected to fail this season; as practice shows, the departure of leaders like Lillard always has consequences in the form of an inability to compete for high places. The team expectedly started with three defeats, but then managed to win three times in a row. In their last meeting, the Portland Trail Blazers lost to visiting Sacramento with a score of 118:121 in overtime. Now the team has 3 wins in 8 meetings and is 12th in the conference. Three players will not be able to play on the floor due to injuries.
