Portland Trail Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction: We bet on Atlanta to underachieve

Prediction for the NBA Portland Trail Blazers vs Atlanta Hawks match which will take place on March 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Portland Trail Blazers

Unlike their closest rival, the Trail Blazers do not claim the playoffs from the start of the championship. Now, on the eve of the season's final stretch, the only thing that will decide Portland's fate is the last or second-to-last place Chauncey Billups' team will occupy in the Western Conference at the end of the regular season.

In the last game, the Blazers hosted Boston on their home floor and, as expected, could not compete with the East leader—99:121. This is Portland's 13th loss in the last 16 games.

Atlanta Hawks

Trae Young was placed on injured reserve at the end of February and will be out until at least the end of March. Nevertheless, the Eastern Conference's level this season is so low that Atlanta, even without its leader, easily holds the 10th spot in the standings. The handicap from the 11th line is 3.5 wins.

Quin Snyder's team lost its last meeting with New Orleans at home (103:116). But before that, Atlanta won three in a row - against New York (116:100), Cleveland (112:101) and Memphis (99:92).

Expert Betting Tips

Without Trae Young, Atlanta has improved on defense, winning five of their last eight games. The Hawks can come out on top against Portland, as the Trail Blazers have struggled offensively all season. We bet on Atlanta to underachieve.
