1.88Tip and bets
Philadelphia has completely failed to meet the expectations of the fans in the current championship. Before the start of the tournament, the Sixers were among the top five contenders for the championship. Now it will be a miracle to get into the play-in. Embiid's constant absence due to injuries is affecting the game. But Portland was not one of the formidable rivals. The Ners players will have to win a victory with the support of their fans after defeating the Warriors.
Our betting tip is a Philadelphia victory with a handicap of (-2.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.78
Betting on an individual total
Philadelphia will have to release a less-than-optimal squad on the court. But even with all the leaders on the floor, the team from the Quaker State is not showing very high performance this season. The average score is 109.7. And in games at home it is the same — 109.6. And this time the Sixers will not be able to load the opponent's basket decently.
Our betting tip is that Philadelphia's individual total is less than 114.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
Bet on the first half
Philadelphia have won the first quarter in their last five out of six games against Portland. The basketball players from Pennsylvania will start the game in great spirits after defeating the Warriors, there is no doubt that they will try to achieve victory in front of their fans again this time. From the first minutes of the meeting, the players of the Ners team will show who is in charge on the floor and seize the initiative.
Our betting tip is a Philadelphia victory in the first quarter in 1.82
