Portland vs Brooklyn. Predictions and Betting Tips for NBA

Portland recorded an unexpected victory in the previous match, beating Sacramento (103:88) at home. Blazers played this game without Damian Lillard and still managed to get the win. Dame will be unavailable until the end of January due to health issues. Anfernee Simons is now the leader of the team. He put up a wonderful performance against the Kings, scoring 31 points, three rebounds and six assists. 

Portland's form is far from perfect now, they need to improve their performance somehow, because the first half of the season is coming to an end and team has only 15 victories so far. They are currently at the 11th spot of the Western conference so far. 

Brooklyn finally managed to record a victory, but it was not an easy one for the Nets. They had to play overtime in the match against San Antonio. But eventually Nets edged a victory over Spurs (121:119). It is just a second victory in space of one and a half weeks for the club. 

Despite all their struggles, Steve Nash's men are currently 2nd in the East. They have 25 victories, one less than Chicago. Will team be able to get out of crisis soon enough?
