NBA prediction
Complicated moment in an already very difficult 2025/2026 NBA season for Portland which, with its third consecutive defeat and without several players, is preparing, on the night between Sunday and Monday, to welcome Boston which, on the contrary, is going very strong, solid in its third position in the Eastern Conference. The pre-match odds fully reflect this difference and give the clear favorites to the Celtics who will show up at the Moda Center with practically the entire roster except for Tatum of course and Boucher.
For Boston, therefore, the trip to the West which will lead it to challenge the Jazz, Kings and Clippers in a few days has the possibility of being profitable. The latest success against Indiana has highlighted, for once, the offensive half of the field more than the defensive one and this is actually a warning to the opponents that warns of the potential of Joe Mazzulla’s boys, in particular, of a super Jaylen Brown.
The Trail Blazers, who in the last games played, however, have generally kept their opponents to low scores, will have to hope for a less happy day than the last for the Celtics, adding, however, substance and continuity in attack, attributes that with several absences will be difficult to find and which, lately, see the Israeli winger Deni Avdija as the only reference interpreter.
