1.88Tip and bets
Philadelphia did not live up to the fans' expectations at the start of the current championship. The Sixers, after several successful seasons, are showing terrible results this year. Portland is playing at its level and again has no serious plans for the current season. The Blazers will have to achieve a victory at home over a dismantled and injured opponent.
Our prediction is a Portland win with overtime at 2.77
Bet on individual total
Portland will put its best lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, Billups' team has not been showing very high performance this season. The average point total is 108.2. And in away games it is slightly higher - 114.6. And this time the Blazers will not be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Portland individual total under 108.5 points including overtime at 2.05
Bet on the first half
The Blazers basketball players will start the game with the Sixers in a good mood after a sensational victory over Dallas. There is no doubt that they will try to achieve victory in order to develop their success. The players of Billups' team will show who is the main one on the court from the first minutes of the match and will seize the initiative.
Our prediction is a Portland win in the first half of the game at 2.62
