Tip and bets
Chicago have a better record in the current season, but Portland are in a better form right now. Hosts won only half of their ten latest fixtures, but clubs are in the middle of a tough battle for a play-off zone, so we are expecting a tight clash here.
Our prediction - Portland to win with a handicap of (+4,5) points
Bulls played well in ten latest matches. They average 112,7 points per game, allowing just 109,2 points to their opponents. But Portland played even better on the offense, but things are not so great on the defensive end - they scored 122.1 points per game, allowing 119.8 per game. We are not expecting a high-scoring game here.
Our second bet is on total under 233,5 points
