Smart Game Analysis
Portland Trail Blazers has a 62% chance of winning the game
Portland enters this matchup with significant momentum and a major health advantage against a slumping Lakers squad missing its top two offensive engines.
Key Analysis
- • The Lakers are confirmed to be without both Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves, removing over 60 points per game of offensive production from their lineup.
- • Portland has won six of its last eight games and is coming off a confident double-digit victory over Atlanta.
- • Shaedon Sharpe is averaging well above his season numbers recently and faces a Lakers defense that just surrendered 135 points to the Hornets.
- • Los Angeles ranks 29th in the league in blocks per game, exposing them to interior scoring if questionable center Deandre Ayton is limited or out.
- • The Trail Blazers have covered the spread in their last five night games at the Moda Center, indicating strong performance at home.
- • To pull off the upset, the Lakers need a vintage high-scoring performance from LeBron James while forcing Portland to commit turnovers at their league-worst rate.
