The Dallas Mavericks will be away to the Portland Trail Blazers next in the NBA. The Mavs sit in fifth spot in the Western Conference, four games clear of their 13th placed hosts. Read on to find our prediction for this match.

The Blazers have won their last four home games. They defeated the Kings 115-106 last time out as they returned home after a shaky five-match road trip. Chauncey Billups’ men had managed just one win in that stretch which was a 104-98 success in Houston.

The Blazers are now 8-12 after 20 matches. Having one more day to prepare for this match will have them confident of continuing their winning run at home. Portland are putting up 109 points over their last three fixtures.

The Mavericks are in splendid form and it is impressive that they have been this dominant with their high-profile injuries. Dallas, who have been without Klay Thompson and Luka Doncic for successive games, have won seven of their last eight fixtures.

Doncic has missed the last five matches while Thompson has been unavailable for three. The Mavs are coming off a 106-94 victory over the Jazz to begin a short two-match road trip.

They have won their last three matches averaging 121.3 points. In their last four meetings with Portland, Dallas emerged winners.
