Good evening to all. At the Portland Moda Center Blazers welcome them Hornets, on 05: 00 Tuesday morning.
They couldn't build on the big double (99-101) over the Raptors Blazers who then lost in the last match of their tour to the Wolves (116-102) and the Bucks (101-122). So Terry Stotts' team has only won 2 of the last 10 and is still unstable. '' We're trying to figure out what's not working, '' Lillard said after the 'deer' match, adding that '' we all know we don't perform well in a team and that we don't have the right mentality, but we will continue to fight. '' . The Blazers are currently 11th in the Western District with a record of 16-24, 2 games behind the 8th Grizzlies and 6th from the 7th Thunder.
On the side of Hornets Now, things are not going well there either, as yesterday's defeat by the Suns was the 4th in a row and the 8th in the last 10. Tonight, apart from back2back, will be the third game in four days on James Borrego's team tour in West, while this also follows against the Nuggets in two days. 15-27 overall record and 9th place in the eastern perimeter for the Hornets who generally do not do badly compared to what we expected from them before the start of the season.
To sum up, the hosts should take this evening if they want to claim a place in the post season and I think they will do it one way or another. However based on what we have seen so far Blazers one cannot easily trust them against such a high handicap as that of -9,5 points. So I'll go with the team over 109,5 to the total points for Lillard and his teammates since I believe that they can do good by attacking them, and that the guests coming from a difficult schedule will play a role in influencing tiredness and defensive concentration.
