LiontipsPortland vs. Golden State. NBA Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Portland is trying to build a new team, but so far nothing has worked out. It just so happened that in recent seasons they were counting on Damian Lillard. Now "Dame" is not on the team, so the "pathfinders" need to find a new leader. Anfernee Simons could be it, but he gets injured too often.
The Oregon team looked pretty good in preseason games. Portland even beat Utah (124:86) and German Ratiopharm (111:100).
Disqualifications and injuries
Robert Williams and Shadon Sharp will not play.
Interesting facts for betting
Portland has been solid offensively in preseason games, and we expect the Trail Blazers to be at their level.
Probable lineup : Clingan - Simons, Kamara - Grant, Avdija.
Current form
Golden State did not lose a single preseason game. The team from California looked great in those matches and won six. In the last of them, they managed to defeat the Lakers twice.
Buddy Hield has already proven himself in the Warriors. The rookie looked good in the preseason. In the last game, Hield had 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
