Los Angeles Clippers vs Portland Trail Blazers Preview Predictions and Odds| March 22 202

Portland Trail Blazers
The Los Angeles Clippers (43-25) travel to the Portland Trail Blazers (19-50) for a Friday night game. The Clippers enter the night as losers of two of their last three games. But the Trailblazers aren’t much better, as they have lost four straight. However, this will be the second straight game in Portland, as the two sides met two days ago. That game ended in a Los Angeles victory by 13 points. Furthermore, the injury report is not kind to the hosts, as this game looks like it could turn out similarly to the last one. But do you see the home team making a heroic stand and pulling off the victory tonight?

Key Stats

Los Angeles Clippers 

Los Angeles Clippers This is a team that could be one of the best when fully healthy. Unfortunately, this was likely to never be the case. They will be without Russell Westbrook for a little bit, but they still have one of the best two-way players in the league, Kawhi Leonard. Leonard averages 23.8 points per game. Meanwhile, Paul George runs out of one of the better duos when available. George averages 22.4 points per game.

Portland Trail Blazers 

Portland Trail Blazers Portland is hoping to steal a win tonight. They shouldn’t be competitive in this game, but surprises happen every night in the NBA. Therefore, if they are going to upset the Los Angeles Clippers, it will likely be through Deandre Ayton. Although you need to monitor his progress as he is making a game-time decision, Ayton averages 15.8 points per game as well as 11.1 rebounds per game. However, if someone else is going to pick up the scoring, then it would be Jerami Grant. Grant is also listed as a game-time decision, and he is doubtful. But if he is able to somehow go, his 21.0 points per game would be crucial for this Portland Trail Blazers team.

Injury Report

Los Angeles Clippers 

  • Russell Westbrook- Out
  • Norman Powell – GTD
  • Terrance Mann – GTD

Portland Trail Blazers 

  • Matisse Thybulle- GTD
  • Jerami Grant – GTD
  • Anfernee Simons- GTD
  • Deandre Ayton – GTD
  • Malcolm Brogdon- Out 

Game Prediction

I see this game being closer than expected. The Los Angeles Clippers are far and away better. However, they have not looked the same since losing Russell Westbrook. Even though they have more talent and skill, I don’t like this team overall right now. Therefore, as long as Ayton is able to go, then I’m picking the Portland Trail Blazers to just cover the spread.

Final Pick

Portland Trail Blazers +14
