Command Analysis

Portland Trail Blazers

USA

After an unsuccessful trip to San Francisco, Portland side is set to return to Oregon. Chauncey Billups' men are much more successful at home. For example, in the most recent game Trail Blazers secured a victory over Charlotte (124:113), prior to that they also secured home victories over Minnesota (124:118 and 133:112).

Portland played the most recent game without Jusuf Nurkic. Bosnian will miss the upcoming game as well. His injury is a big blow for the team.

Detroit Pistons

USA

Detroit will play against Portland without some important players. Team's first choice point guard, Killian Hayes, will miss the upcoming game. He is out for three weeks. Isaiah Livers is also on team's injuried list.

Detroit won their most recent match. Two days ago, Dwane Casey's men had a successful trip to Minneapolis, beating Minnesota by 12 points (116:104). A victory over Minnesota became a 10th one for the Pistons in the current season.

Tip and bets

1.78Total over 230,5 points

Both teams are quite successful on the offense. Portland average 117,3 points per game at home, while Detroit score 110 on away games. Trail Blazers will play without Nurkic. In this case, hosts won't be so strong on defense, so visitors should be able to score many points. We are expecting a high-scoring game.

Our prediction - total over 230,5 points
