1.82Tip and bets
"Utah" can count on success, because "Portland" is not much stronger. Recently, the "pathfinders" have suffered many failures and even on their home court do not demonstrate confident play. We have two approximately equal opponents in front of us, so the guests can succeed.
Our prediction is a Utah win with overtime at 2.10
Bet on total
Very often teams fail in attack and do not demonstrate a bright game. In this regard, we suggest betting on the fact that the match will be low-scoring.
Forecast - total under 227.5 points for 1.77

Ayton is not a scoring player. In 3 of the last 5 games he did not score more than 17 points. It is unlikely that he will be able to do so now.
