Portland Trail Blazers vs New Orleans Pelicans

NBA Regular Season

POR VS NOP DREAM11 MATCH PREVIEW:

Portland Trail Blazers host New Orleans Pelicans in NBA action on Sunday morning (IST) at Moda Center, in Portland, Oregon.

Blazers (49-33) finished the NBA regular season at 3rd in the Eastern Conference, while Pelicans (48-34) were 3rd in the same conference, but just one point behind their hosts in this match.

So there’s not much of a difference between these two teams as far as the performance in the regular season is concerned.

Portland are coming into this match on the back of a win against Utah Jazz, which eventually ended a three-game losing streak for Damian Lillard and company. The hosts shouldn’t look too much into that torrid period as Blazers had already cemented their place in the playoffs and rotated their squad in that period.

They are the 3rd best team in terms of free-throw percentage, fifth best in defensive rebounds, and 7th best in blocks per game.

Pelicans, on the hand, ended their regular season with five wins on the trot, giving them a perfect impetus ahead of this season-defining period. They possess a player in their ranks which could be the difference between teams on any given day. Anthony Davis is that player and he is averaging 28.1 points per game, second best scoring record and only behind Houston Rockets’ James Harden.

So the host team needs to be wary of this particular threat, and their guards need to be at their toes if they are to start the playoff with a home win.
