Portland Trail Blazers vs Brooklyn Nets 4/30/2021 Betting Odds

Team	SP/RL	TOTAL	ML
Portland Trail Blazers	-1.5 (-111)	240.5 o (-110)	-105
Brooklyn Nets	+1.5 (-111)	240.5 u (-110)	-111

The Portland Trail Blazers are sitting on top of the play-in tournament position and have the seventh best record in the NBA Western Conference standings. This team still aims to get out of the playin tournament as they trail the Dallas Mavericks by just one game. The Blazers are right on track winning their last two games to keep a steady lead over the Memphis Grizzlies. Damian Lillard will need to bring “Dame Time” for the next few games in order to chase for a better playoff position. CJ McCullom has been great for them and the team has been very healthy so far with only Zach Collins on the injured list.

The Brooklyn Nets may be the best team in the NBA Eastern Conference so far but their stars have been trying to keep their legs intact. They own a 1.5 game lead over the chasing Philadelphia 76ers with Kevin Durant expected to rest this next match. Kyrie Irving is listed as questionable for this game and that gives the backcourt of Damian Lillard and CJ McCullom lesser things to think about. This will be a good test for other players to step up with Jeff Green expected to lead. Even with the injuries, the Nets are still tough to beat as they run Steve Nash and Mike D’Antoni’s run-and-gun system.
