Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Devesh Jaganath in NBA Predictions

The Portland Trail Blazers will head to American Airlines Center on Friday night to face off against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA. The hosts are 20-15 and seventh in the Western Conference, while the visitors are 9-24 and in 14th place. 

The Portland Trail Blazers have been struggling this season, losing 12 of their last 15 games, and they will be hoping to break a two-game losing streak after a humbling 126-97 defeat to their upcoming opponent last Wednesday. In that match, Portland faced a challenging start, conceding the first nine points, and the situation only worsened from there. Shaedon Sharpe top-scored with 16 points coming off the bench, while Anfernee Simons contributed 15 points. Currently, Portland ranks 29th in scoring in the NBA, averaging 108.4 points per game, while Dallas stands 22nd in points allowed per game (117.4). Defensively, the Trail Blazers are 18th, allowing 115.3 points per game. When playing at home, Portland scores an average of 110.6 points, which is 4.2 more than their away average (106.4). Robert Williams and DeAndre Ayton are sidelined, and Justin Minaya and Moses Brown are questionable for the upcoming game.

Meanwhile,  the Dallas Mavericks have been performing reasonably well, securing victories in four of their last seven games, and they will be keen on maintaining their momentum after a convincing performance against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Luka Doncic led the team with 41 points and five assists on an efficient 13-of-21 shooting, while Kyrie Irving contributed 29 points along with nine rebounds and five assists. The Mavericks boast an offensive average of 118.5 points per game, surpassing the Trail Blazers' defensive allowance of 115.3 points. Notably, their scoring output has been better in home games (121.1) compared to away games (116.4) in the ongoing 2023-24 season. However, defensively, the Mavericks currently rank 22nd in the league, conceding an average of 117.4 points per game.

Our Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

While it can be difficult to beat the same team back-to-back at times, Portland are severely short-handed right now and the manner in which they slumped to defeat on Wednesday did little to inspire hope in their chances for tonight. Doncic has been on fire recently, and we’re expecting the Slovenian to take his side to another victory in this one. Our Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trail Blazers prediction: Dallas Mavericks to win the match. We also like the looks of the Under as a standalone wager.
