In 2 of the last 3 head-to-head meetings, more than 39 points were scored in the first quarter
1.75Tip and bets
In the last match, Dallas scored only 98 points. Still, Doncic absence affects the team actions. Without their leader, the Mavericks cannot demonstrate a productive game. Most likely, nothing will change in Oregon and the meeting with Portland will be low-scoring.
Our prediction is total under 226.5 points at 1.77
Bet on the outcome
Even without Doncic, Dallas should be able to beat this opponent. The visitors have a great roster, so we doubt they will have problems in Oregon.
Prediction: Dallas win with OT in 1.57
Bet on statistics
Only in the last match Avdija managed to score 27 points. Before that he had not impressed with such results. It is unlikely that Danny will show a fantastic game now.
Prediction - Danny Avdija: Total under 20.5 points at 1.79
