Detroit Pistons – Portland Trail Blazers – Betting Tips 06.02.2018

Detroit Pistons
Unexpectedly, the opportunity for the Pistons to bring one of the best NBA players, Blake Griffin, into the team, which of course they did not want to miss and regardless of the fact that they in turn two players from Starting Five in the City of Angels, you can say they did a great job. It is only important that Griffin remains unhurt. In the debut for his new team, he scored 24 points and 10 rebounds, while in his second match he scored 16 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists (both matches won Detroit).
In return, Detroit sent Harris, Bradley and Marjanovic to LA and the very first two players were the best Detroit shooters this season. But now they have one of the best inside lines in the league as Griffin and Drummond combined this season record nearly 25 rebounds and 10 assists. It lacks a good shooting guard in the team, but they will have it when the experienced Jackson (14.6 points on average per match) recovers from his injury. The Pistons currently have 25 wins and 26 defeats, while at home they recorded 16 wins and 10 defeats.

Portland Trail Blazers
The Blazers had less time to recover than the Pistons because they had to face a very tough match against Boston on Sunday night, while Detroit was free. They beat Boston in the half-time break by 16 points, but they were defeated in the last game seconds after Horford’s successful throw. That was their second defeat in a row, even though they won seven out of eight matches before that. Now they occupy the sixth place in the Western Conference, with 29 wins and 24 defeats in the account. In the distance they have each achieved 14 victories and defeats.
The Blazers have not yet played against the Pistons this season, but if we compare the stats of the two teams, we see that Portland is slightly more point-efficient, while the defenses are almost equally good. Regardless of the fact that the Pistons have the best rebounder in the league, Portland is better at rebounding, but is significantly worse at assists. Lillard has recovered and that is very important for the whole team’s game because he has been a true team leader of Portland for the last few seasons. Especially he and McCollim and winger Turner can give their team the necessary edge.
Expected lineup Blazers: Lillard, McCollum, Turner, Aminu, Nurkic

Detroit Pistons – Portland Trail Blazers TIP
The Pistons are recovering and are currently in a winning streak, unlike Portland, which could be crucial in this match. Compared to Drummond Nurkic is not dominant in the area of rebounds, but is much more dangerous in the attack and therefore we believe that Portland can keep up with the Pistons very well.
