1.79Tip and bets
It is likely that the face-to-face meeting of these rivals will not be productive. The teams played on the bottom twice this season. The absence of Donovan Mitchell increases the likelihood of this option. The Cavalrymen's coaching staff decided to give him a day off. Considering this, we suggest betting that the opponents will not score more than 235 points.
Our betting tip is a total of less than 235.5 points 1.85
Betting on the outcome
In the previous match, Cleveland defeated Boston by eight points. It is unlikely that Portland will be able to perform significantly better and impose a struggle on the leader of the East. The weight categories here are completely different.
Prediction — Cleveland with a handicap (-9.5) points in 1.70
Betting on statistics
Mobley is playing a great game. In the last 3 out of 5 matches, he scored more than 17 points. We expect Evan to perform at his level.
Prediction — Evan Mobley: total more than 17.5 points in 1.78
