Preview:
Charlotte Hornets have been terrible this season. They currently sit with a record of 9-24 and this team is most likely going to miss the playoffs. They’ve had some issues with their roster and we believe that the best way forward for this organization is to build around Lamelo Ball and get active in the trade market during this off season. They are truly wasting Lamelo’s potential to a point where it’s becoming sad to watch as a basketball fan.
Portland Trail Blazers are 17-16 this season. This team is most likely going to make the playoffs however the Western Conference right now is super random as there are many teams that are laying a few games away from each other. The Blazers ended up doing good trades this off season and they are still waiting for some other pieces to return from injury. Damian Lillard is still playing like a superstar and that is going to be the main reason to how far this team really goes.
Bet: Anfernee Simons Over 20.5 Points
Odds: @ 1.86
Bookmaker: Bet365
Over reaction here from Bet365 simply because he hasn’t been covering his usual line like he used to. Difference is here Portland are playing home and statistically he seems to thrive at home much more than on the road. Liking this spot a lot here.
Bet: Lamelo Ball Over 7.5 Assists
Odds: @ 1.80
Bookmaker: Bet365
He has covered this line in the last 3 games and seems to play much more comfortable now specially after he returned from injury. He’s a great play maker and as long as his teammates hit the open shots this bet should be a cakewalk. Good spot here.
