Portland vs Atlanta: prediction for the NBA match

Trail Blazers are in a terrible form right now, because a number of their players are unavailable due to coronavirus, that's where the problems started. Team is extremely close to the bottom three teams of the West, so team is in a serious crisis.

Portland lost four matches in a row, so team dropped lower in the standings. Team lost to New Orleans (97:111), Dallas (117:132), Utah (115:120) and the Lakers (106:139). As we see, team had to face some mighty opponents, but now hosts will finally have a chance for a victory at Moda Center. 

Hawks are facing the same problem as their opponent, so their position in the standings worsened. But team is closer to the play-in zone than to the bottom three teams of the East.

Atlanta managed to record a victory over Cleveland (121:118) after three consecutive defeats. We should give credit to Trae Young, who put up a double-double and was one of the best players on the floor. Nate McMillan's men don't want to slow down, so they are on their way back to the Top-10 of the East.
