LiontipsPortland Trail Blazers v Los Angeles Clippers. Predictions and betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Damian Lillard was recently injured. Due to injury, he missed the last game against Charlotte, which his team lost to short-handed Charlotte Hornets (101-109). They will face Clippers without him as well. This will significantly weaken the Trail Blazers.
To add insult to injury, Portland has slowed down lately, which costs them too many games. Because of this, the team from Arizona dropped to sixth place in the Western Conference.
The Clippers also have injuries in their squad. We are talking about Patrick Beverly and Serge Ibaka. But these players are not all that irreplaceable. LA Clippers have proved that they can do well enough without them in the last game when they beat Minnesota at home (124-105).
Tyronn Liu's men have been showing excellent play lately. They won 8 out of 10 matches and secured their third place in the Western Conference. Moreover, the Clippers have every chance to overthrow Phoenix from the top, as they are one victory behind the Suns.

Tip and bets
Without Lillard, Portland doesn't show such an impressive and bright game. For example, in the last match, the Trail Blazers scored only 101 points. It is unlikely that against the Clippers, the Trail Blazers will suddenly show a spectacular game. There is a big chance that they will fail, since their home performances are not convincing tight now.
Our prediction is Portland's individual total under 110.5 points.
As a rule, Portland are excellent at home. For instance, in their last four home matches against the Clippers, the Trail Blazers have not lost a single game with a big point difference. We don't see why this one would be an exception.
The second wager - handicap (+8.5) points to Portland
