Free Chicago Bulls vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
The Bulls and Blazers come into this one with vastly different recent successes.
On the surface, Portland is coming off a timely win over the Utah Jazz, while the Bulls’ last outing saw them fall to the Philadelphia 76ers in blowout fashion.
However, if you look just a bit beneath the surface, you see that the Trail Blazers have otherwise lost six in a row SU, while Chicago has otherwise won three in a row SU and five out of six overall.
Both Teams Return to Recent Trends
At this point, I’m not buying the Trail Blazers’ latest win as a sign of newfound momentum. And I’m also not buying the Bulls’ blowout loss as a sign that their recent success has come to a halt.
On Friday, you can expect both teams to return to their recent trends—Bulls for better, Trail Blazers for worse.
Give this one to the road Bulls in convincing fashion.
