LiontipsPortland vs Chicago. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Chauncey Billups' men failed to improve their performance. Portland is still in a shaky form. Trail Blazers are alternating wins with losses. There is no sign of consistency in their game so far. Seems like the new head coach of the Blazers need more time to change the situation.
Portland recorded a victory in the previous match. Trail Blazers recorded a home victory over Toronto (118:113). But before that Blazers suffered a defeat at Colorado, losing to Denver (95:124).
Vucevic's loss hit Billy Donovan's team really hard. Bulls are trying to figure out, how to play without their center, but they already suffered a defeat to Golden State (96:119). But in the next game they managed to redeem themselves, beating Clippers (100:90).
After a victory over the Clippers, team from the Wind City recorded their second victory at Staples Center. This time Bulls managed to beat Lakers. Anthony Davis tried his best, but he was unable to help his team to avoid a defeat (103:121).

Tip and bets
It is unknown, whether Lillard will play in this match. Damian got another injury, so it is unknown, whether he will play in this match. Without their leader, Portland will surely have less chances for a success. In this case, we should place a bet on the visitors, they should be able to record a victory even without Vucevic.
Our prediction - Chicago to win (Including OT)
Two and a half weeks ago opponents scored 245 points combined in the head-to-head match. Lillard's absence will probably affect Portland's scoring chances, so we are expecting a slow game.
Our second bet is on total under 223,5 points
