Expert Betting Tips

While there are worse teams in terms of win balance at this stage of the championship, Portland looks the weakest of them all in terms of play. Unlike Detroit or San Antonio, the Trail Blazers often lose without a single chance of success. There are reasons to believe that Portland may suffer a crushing defeat in the match with Minnesota. Timberwolves are the leaders of the Western Conference and are performing above all expectations at home this season.
