Command Analysis
Toronto Raptors
CanadaCurrent form
When Toronto went on set on April 2, no one thought it would be an evening full of pain and suffering. But Chicago didn't stand on ceremony — 137-118, and the four-game winning streak turned into a distant memory. The Raptors obediently gave up three quarters, and in the last they only beat themselves slightly in the chest, winning it by a margin of four points.
Immanuel Quickley and Jacobe Walter were the most diligent in defeat, shooting 17 points apiece. They were supported by A.J. Lawson and Orlando Robinson (13 each), and Jacob Peltl scored 12. However, none of this matters: with 28 wins and 48 losses, the Raptors are officially off the list of playoff contenders.
Disqualifications and injuries
The Toronto infirmary now resembles an emergency room on a Friday night: Quickley, Peltl, Grady Dick, Brandon Ingram are all gone.

Portland Trail Blazers
USACurrent form
On April 2, Portland did something that was not expected of it — it took and defeated Atlanta (127:113). This not only broke the four-game losing streak, but also gave the team a feeling that everything could still be fixed.
Denis Avdia was the main star of the evening with a triple-double (32 points, 15 rebounds, ten assists). Shaydon Sharp kept pace with 33 points, ten rebounds, and three assists. And Toumani Kamara (18), Donovan Klingen (11) and Dalano Banton (11) helped bring the matter to a victorious end.
The Blazers currently have 33 wins and 43 losses, and they are ranked 12th in the Western Conference.

1.87Tip and bets
In the East, all the playoff participants are determined, and Toronto is not among them. Now there is only a distribution of places in the standings. Portland still has a chance of making the playoffs. In the West, the teams are very tight. Billups' players still have motivation. Unlike the Raptors players. The team from Oregon will have to achieve a difficult victory on the road over an unmotivated opponent. Our prediction is that Portland will win by a handicap of (-2.2) points, taking into account overtime in 1.81
Betting on an individual total
The Blazers' average of points scored in the season is 110.1, and away it is even lower — 108.9. They finished the last two face—to-face meetings with Toronto with 102 or less. Something tells me there won't be any fireworks right now.
Our betting tip: Portland's individual total is less than 112.5 points, including overtime in 2.03
The bet for the first quarter
Toronto has won the first half in its last four out of five games against Portland. The Raptors basketball players will start the match not with a fighting squad, but definitely with the mindset only to win. By the way, the guests will also release an inappropriate composition on the parquet. Rajakovic's team will have to put the opponent in his place from the first minutes of the meeting. However, this will not be enough for overall success.
Our prediction is that Toronto will win in the first quarter in 2.21
