LiontipsPortland vs Lakers. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Portland are having a shaky start of the season, but it is not a surprise to anyone, we think that fans get used to it already. Trail Blazers usually start the season slow and try to improve the standings later in the season.
Despite all the problems, Trail Blazers are looking good at home. Chauncey Billups' men lost only one home match in the current season, losing to Sacramento. In other matches team defeated Phoenix (134:105), Memphis (116:96), Clippers (111:92) and Indiana (110:106).
After a string of victories Lakers suffered a defeat once again. This time the Lakers were beaten by Oklahoma (104:107). Frank Vogel's men had to play this match without LeBron James. Carmelo Anthony, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook couldn't bring a positive result to the team.
Visitors will play without Portland without King James as well. Athony Davis also can miss this game. Both of those players could've played, but Frank Vogel said that he doesn't want to risk them.

Without Davis and James visitors won't be able to score many points. We don't think that teams will beat the total of 222 points.
