LiontipsClippers vs Portland. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Clippers started the current season without Kawhi Leonard. Clippers' leader got injuried and so far he is unable to play. Paul George has to do all the work now. Reggie Jackson and Eric Bledsoe are trying to help him, but they are not always successful on that.
Tyronn Lue's men are yet to record a single victory. In the first match Los Angeles team suffered a defeat to Golden State (113:115). In the second match Clippers were beaten by Memphis (114:120).
Portland got off to a slow start of the season. In the first match Blazers were not fortunate enough. They were playing well against Sacramento, but couldn't record a home victory over the Kings. Billups' men suffered a 121:124 defeat.
Seems like Trail Blazers' head coach managed to fix the problems. In the next game Portland performed much better. Damian Lillard and his partners recorded an easy victory over Phoenix (134:105). C.J. McCollum was the best player for Blazers. He scored 28 points.

Tip and bets
Clippers performed well in previous matches, but they were not fortunate enough. They lost to Golden State by only a few points. We think that this time Clippers will finally record a victory. A home game against Portland is a great opportunity.
Our prediction - Los Angeles Clippers to win (Including OT)
Both clubs have adopted the «run-and-gun» style of play. Opponents are extremely efficient on scoring. In each of their regular season games Blazers scored more than 120 points. Clippers were also very close to that mark.
Our second bet is on total over 229,5 points
