Portland Trail Blazers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions

An inter-conference matchup in the NBA on Wednesday sees the East’s 11th-place Cleveland Cavaliers taking on the West’s 13th-place Portland Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers opted to blow up the team and enter into rebuild mode by trading away star point guard Damian Lillard in the offseason. The result has been a team that has unsurprisingly started the year slow with a record of three wins and seven losses over the first 10 games. To make matters worse, Portland has been hit by the injury bug at the start of the season. They’ve only had their best player Anfernee Simons for one game and have been without third overall NBA draft pick Scoot Henderson for all of November. What’s more, Malcolm Brogdan, one of the team’s most efficient scorers, will also miss out on Wednesday’s game. The Blazers’ last outing finished in a 115-99 loss to the Jazz on Tuesday, the team’s fourth straight defeat. They’ll have to deal with playing a back-to-back in this game as well as their third in the last four days.

The Cavaliers have been riddled with injuries to start the year as well, resulting in a 4-7 record and 11th-place in the Eastern Conference. Cleveland will undoubtedly start to rise up in the rankings as this team is simply too talented but they’ve certainly had their struggles early on. After looking like they were finally free of their injury concerns, point guard Darius Garland has gone down yet again and will miss this game with a neck strain. The visitors will also be without Isaac Okoro, Ty Jerome and Ricky Rubio, leaving them shorthanded at the guard position. After a terrific 118-110 away win over the Warriors, the Cavs were unable to follow that up with consecutive wins. Cleveland fell to a 132-120 away loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday, meaning that last season’s fourth-seed has yet to win two games in a row this season.

Portland Trail Blazers - Cleveland Cavaliers Key Points

  1. The Cavaliers are just 3-7 against the spread this season (30%).
  2. Portland's defense has been surprisingly solid so far this year, giving up the 13th fewest points in the league at 112.0 per game.
  3. The Trail Blazers have managed to stay competitive and are 5-5 against the spread.
  4. Only once this season have the Cavaliers managed to beat a team by double-digits.
  5. The hosts have lost by a double-digit margin in only two of their last seven games.

Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

The Cavaliers have been giving up an uncharacteristically high amount of points lately, being gouged for 120 or more in three of their last five. They'll need to improve here, especially as they will be without the consistent 17-21 points provided by Darius Garland. While Cleveland is certainly significantly better than Portland, this is simply too many points to be laying on the road for a team not playing particularly well at the moment. Our Portland Trail Blazers vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction is for the Trail Blazers +10.
