Indiana Pacers - Portland Blazers: betting tip (kef 1.73) and bets on the NBA match

Current form

Indiana just went through a tough ordeal at Madison Square Garden, where the New York Knicks literally dismantled their defense 110-136. And after all, everything started quite cheerfully for the guests: 34 points in the first quarter, confident ball movement, the feeling that you can catch on. But then there's the classic story of a team without balance. The Knicks added speed, turned on long—range artillery, and the Pacers began to lag by half a step - and in the NBA, this is already a chasm.

The young ones tried to keep their face in attack: Jareis Walker looked the most solid (16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists), Aaron Naismith was accurate from a distance, Obi Toppin added energy from the bench. But 17 losses and a lost shield is a verdict that is not discussed. The result is natural: another defeat and a sad 15-54, which consolidated the team at the very bottom of the East.

But Portland is a completely different story now. The team came to Brooklyn and played the way teams play when they understand their goal — 114-95 against the Nets. Already in the first quarter, the Blazers set the tone (35:20), and then it was control, not a fight. It was especially pleasant to look at the bundle of Tumani Kamara — Denis Avdiya. Both scored 18 points apiece, but Avdiya also added versatility: rebounds, assists, and defensive work.

Donovan Klingan was in charge of the ring, and the experienced Jerami Grant and Jrue Holliday neatly tied up the game, not letting it fall apart. 51% of the implementation, confident control of the selection, pressure on the opponent — all this speaks to the main thing: Portland is now a team with an idea. And with a chance to catch a play-in in the West with a balance of 33-36.
