1.88Tip and bets
Portland has not lived up to fans' expectations in the current championship. The Blazers are having another disastrous season and are again unlikely to even make it to the play-in. Chicago will try to secure a play-off spot directly. Which is also unlikely. But the Bulls clearly look stronger than their opponent. It high time to break the losing streak. Donovan men will have to succeed against an opponent weakened by injuries.
Our prediction is a Chicago victory with a handicap of (-3.5) points including overtime for 1.75
Bet on individual total
Chicago will put its best lineup on the court. With all the leaders on the court, the team from Illinois shows decent performance this season. The average score is 117.6. And in away games it is even a little higher - 119.2. And this time the Bulls will be able to load the opponent basket decently.
Our prediction is Chicago individual total over 121.5 points including overtime for 2.03
Bet on the first half
Chicago has won the first half of its last five games out of six against Portland. The Bulls will begin the game against the Blazers in a not very good mood after an unsuccessful meeting with Charlotte. There is no doubt that they will try to achieve victory in order to rehabilitate themselves before their fans. The players of Donovan team will show who is the boss on the court from the first minutes of the match and seize the initiative.
Our prediction is Chicago win in the first half of the game at 1.66
