PREVIEW & TIPS Portland Trail Blazers VS New Orleans Pelicans
We come with another tip from the first phase of the NBA play-off and go to Portland, Moda Center, where Trail Blazzers opens the New Orleans Pelicans series.
Portland Trail Blazers News
Portland Trail Blazzers comes after a very solid regular season at the end of which finished third, after Rockets and Warriors. The team had a formidable series of 14 consecutive victories in February-March, through which they mathematically secured their playoff qualifiers, after which Terry Stotts has kept some of its players in playoff confrontations.
With the exception of Harkless, all players are fit, so we’ll probably see a top 5 standard with Turner-Aminu-Nurkic-McCollum and the superstar Dame Lillard. The latter has averages of 26.9 points and 6.6 assists per game, being the key player at key moments. Also, in the last game of the season in the Jazz victory, which has given the advantage of its own arena in the play off, Lillard managed a double double of feeling, with 36 points and 10 decisive passes. At Moda Center, Trail Blazzers defends well, receiving just 102.1 points on average.
Portland Trail Blazers VS New Orleans Pelicans STATS
At Moda Center it is extremely difficult to win, Trail Blazzers having 17 wins in the last 20 games in front of his supporters. Pelicans are a good team but suffer a lot on the defensive phase having the second worst average of all NBA teams, 110.4 points received per match. I see his favorite Trail Blazzers who seem to me a more balanced team in both phases and I think they can win at least one possession.
New Orleans Pelicans News
On the other side, the Pelicans scored a remarkable performance, namely the playoff qualifiers, after a 5-game finish with 5 strong victories against strong teams such as Warriors, Clippers or Spurs.
Despite the serious injury of DeMarcus Cousins, great at the beginning of the season, Alfred Gentry’s team practiced a total basketball, being the most spectacular NBA team with an average of 222.1 points in the matches they took part in. Anthony Davis makes one of the best career seasons, averaging 28.1 points and 11.3 rebounds, but Jrue Holiday or Nikola Mirotic are also very good players, players able to score without big problems over 20 match points. The decisive passport is Rajon Rondo, the 8.2 assists / match being the 4th in the league, after Westbrook, Lebron James and Harden.
The “pelicans” lack Cousins, Ajinca and Jackson, and the lack of the first is extremely important.
