Will the Clippers also convince in Portland?

Portland will face LA on Tuesday night. In this match-up between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers, the odds indicate a clear favourite position for the visitors.

Portland Trail Blazers – Statistics & current form

The Trail Blazers lost their last game 117-145 at home against the Boston Celtics. Portland, on the whole, have made a false start to the new season. Currently, the Blazers are in tenth place in the West with a 10-13 record. In addition, Portland is in very weak shape. They have lost six of their last seven games. Also, Damian Lillard will likely be out tonight due to injury. He is their best player. Especially offensively he will be missing. Accordingly, predicting a home win in the game between the Portland Trail Blazers and the LA Clippers is inadvisable.

LA Clippers – Statistics & current form

The Clippers on the other hand lost their last game against the Kings. They have been without Kawhi Leonard since the beginning of the season. The star player is still out injured. Right now LA is in fifth place in the West (12-12 record). The Clippers have lost four of their last five games. Still, not least because of Portland’s Lillard’s absence between the Trail Blazers and the Clippers, tip 2 is our favoured choice.

Portland Trail Blazers – LA Clippers Tip

The absence of Damian is the deciding factor for this prediction. I recommend a medium-high bet for this tip. Accordingly, I bet six out of ten units on a Clippers win and back it up with an Asian handicap of -1.5.
