LiontipsPortland vs Clippers. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA
Command Analysis
Not too long ago Portland looked great at home matches. But now Blazers are facing injury problems. Everyone criticized Damian Lillard's performance at the start of the new season, but without him Trail Blazers are looking terrible. In two most recent matches Billups' men suffered heavy defeats to San Antonio (83:114) and Boston (117:145).
Lillard won't be able to help his team in the match against Clippers as well. Aside from him, team will also have to do without Anfernee Simons and Nassir Little.
Clippers got themselves into a slump once again. Not too long ago it seemed like Tyronn Lue's men figured out how to play without Kawhi Leonard. Paul George and Reggie Jackson were looking great and their performance helped the Clippers to get victories. But it didn't last long. After recent defeats Clippers dropped to the 5th spot in the standings.
In five most recent matches Los Angeles team recorded only one victory. Three days ago Lue's men beat the Lakers (119:115). But after that Clippers were beaten by Sacramento (99:104).

Tip and bets
Seems like Simons and Lillard are too important for Portland. Without those players Trail Blazers stood no chance in the game against Boston. We are not expecting a better performance from them in the match against the Clippers. Their squad is much better, so we offer to place a bet on the visitors.
Our prediction - Clippers to win the match (Including OT)
Portland was always a high-scoring team. For example, in the most recent match they scored 117 points on Boston. Blazers just can't play defensively, so we don't think that they will change the strategy in the match against Clippers.
Our second bet is on total over 211,5 points
