The NBA program has several matches that start early, I will deal with the match between the Blazers and the Spurs.
Portland is doing very well so far, having a record of 8-5. Terry Stots's most recent game is the 112-106 victory over the Hawks. It thus reached the last 5 to 6 with a single defeat by the Pacers inside with 87-111 in a match that left them early. Significant is the loss of the second best player McCollum, Lillard's dark will be missing and so the time and effort he takes (easily over 18-20 in each match) will be shared with the other players. 4-3 the home record, theoretically from the passable games against San Antonio.
Popovic's team comes from the victory against Houston in the second consecutive game between the two teams (103-91). In the first he was defeated 109-105 by those without Harden, but also Wall, Rockets. Her behavior is strange as there are matches where she scores but also receives many points and in others the exact opposite happens. He has 5 wins in the seven most recent matches (7-6 total), before this period he had 4 consecutive defeats.
With the San Antonio, the Bucks came out as favorites, estimating that the absence of McCollum will not be possible to be overtaken by Portland. In my eyes it is one of those games that Lillard just loves to take on, he will take over 25 shots logically and he is certainly capable of comfortably scoring over 30 points. Even if the Blazers lose, I do not have the Spurs capable of disbanding them and - with every reservation in this year's NBA - I will support Dame Dollar's team. I choose Lillard Over 33,5 points in combination with the Blazers' +8,5 handicap at odds of 2.30 (buy at Bet365).
