Portland Trail Blazers vs Detroit Pistons Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

Prediction published on 09/03/2025, 00:44  by Kennedy Kechula | Modified on 09/03/2025 at 00:56 in NBA Predictions

The Portland Trail Blazers will host the Detroit Pistons, seeking to end a run of two straight losses in the NBA. The Blazers are 12th in the Western Conference, whereas the Pistons are sixth in the East. Below is our prediction for this match.

The Blazers lost three times in their last four games. Before this slump, they had four straight wins, and will be keen to regain that momentum.

Chauncey Billups’ men have slipped in their quest for a postseason spot. They, however, can secure a play-in position if they go on a run. The Blazers, who have compiled a 28-36 record, are four games off the play-in with 18 games left to play.

Portland are coming off a 107-89 loss on the road to West highflyers OKC.

The Pistons also lost their last two fixtures. J.B. Bickerstaff’s men, who are playing their final game of a four-game road trip out West, fell 115-110 to the Warriors last time out.

This slump has held them back from climbing into the top four in the East. The Pistons, who have compiled an impressive 35-28 record, are 1.5 games from a slot that could secure home-court advantage in the playoffs.

Detroit, who have Jaden Ivey as their only injury absentee, have won the last two meetings with Portland.
