Portland

At one point, it looked like the Trail Blazers would get rid of their underdog status and solve their tournament problems this season, but they failed five games in a row. The meeting with the Lakers in Los Angeles (110-116) was one of them, and Portland also failed to cope with Memphis (100:112), Sacramento (111:111 in overtime), Utah (99:115) at home and Cleveland (95:109) on the road.

Note that Portland is currently the worst offensive team in the league, averaging just 104.7 points per game.

LA Lakers

The Lakers played their last match at home against Sacramento and lost 110-125. But before that, Darvin Ham's team had won three in a row - over Phoenix (122-119), Portland (116-110), and Memphis (134-107).

The Lakers have mostly played close games this season, and the team currently has as many victories as losses - 6-6.

Expert Betting Tips

Portland's offense is the worst in the league this season, and it's unlikely that the Blazers will shoot a lot, even against the Los Angeles Lakers, who aren't the most reliable defensively. At the same time, the Lakers' performance may not be anything to write home about, as both LeBron James and Anthony Davis might not appear on the floor.
