ANDRE GOMES
NBA - 509 Portland Trail Blazers @ 510 Philadelphia 76ers
NOTE: this is a First Half Play!!
I have a small lean on the 76ers tonight (full game) but because this is a bad spot for them (b2b
w/ 3 games in 4 nights) I rather prefer playing them in the first half as the most likely scenario is
the Blazers having a strong 2nd half.
First of all, despite being “rested”, I don’t like the spot that the Blazers is going for this contest.
This is the first game of their road trip, so they made a huge trip POR -> PHI, also, they are
coming from a huge effort last game against the Rockets at home! Against the lowly 76ers, I don’t
expect the Blazers to be 100% focused, especially early on the game.
The 76ers are struggling to hit their outside shots due to their evident lack of talent, but they
can be a dangerous offensive team in transition & attacking the rim. The Blazers have been a poor
interior defensive team all season; they are ranked #26 in points in the paint allowed w/ 45.6 ppg
so the 76ers will have a good matchup in this particular area. Also, the potential laziness of the
Blazers defense will be noticed on transition (lack) defense.
The 76ers defense is allowing almost 70% FG at the rim L10 games but the Blazers are mainly a
jump shooting team so they won’t totally explore PHI’s biggest weakness early on the game.
Eventually they will adjust @ half time and also take advantage of the tired legs of PHI players
but again, I’m taking the 76ers just to be competitive in the first half!
