Command Analysis

Portland Trail Blazers

Current form
The Blazers surprised many by actively gaining points after a disastrous start to the season. Chauncey Billups' team has won five games in a row, but remains one of the outsiders in the Western Conference. In the last game, Portland confidently dealt with Indiana (112:89). Anferny Simons and Jeremy Grant demonstrated excellent chemistry on the floor, leaving no chance for the opponent's defense.
If the team continues to play at the same pace, theoretically it has a chance to join the fight for a place in the playoffs. However, to do this, you will have to keep winning, and the match against Sacramento will be a serious test.
Disqualifications and injuries
Justin Minaya and Chase Moore will not play in the next match due to injuries.
Interesting facts for betting
Portland's winning streak has lasted for five matches already.
Approximate composition: Grant - Avdiya, Eyton-Simons, Grant.

Sacramento Kings

Current form
The Kings occupy ninth place in the West, but their position is not stable. In the last round, the team lost to Orlando (111:130), unable to cope with the pressure of the opponent. Neither the efforts of Domantas Sabonis nor the game of Demar Derozan helped to avoid defeat. A recent trade brought Zach Lavigne to Sacramento, but in return, the team lost its leader, De'Aaron Fox, who went to San Antonio.
Changes in the squad may affect the teamwork of the team, but the Kings have the potential to be successful. In the away game against Portland, they will try to prove their competitiveness.

Interesting facts for betting
