How things might unfold

76ers have been inconsistent but are a good team on the road. They have the quality in their lineup and addition of Jimmy Butler has been the cherry on the cake. But it all depends on whether Joel Embiid is fit for the match or not as he is the fulcrum of the team.

Ad

Blazers have a good record at home and at very difficult to beat at the Moda Center. C.J. McCollum has been cold for some time, and this team depends a lot on him. He needs to stand up tonight if they need to win here.

I would give this one to the Blazers as they will a completely different team at home.
