Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

The key matchup here is Anfernee Simons against Dennis Schröder. Simons has been on a tear, averaging 26.5 points over his last ten games, while Schröder's defense has been... well, it's been optional at times for the Nets this season.

Portland's playing with a bit of a chip on their shoulder right now, coming off a tough loss to Boston where they held their own for three quarters. They've won six of their last ten, including a road upset over Atlanta. The Nets, meanwhile, are just limping to the finish line, dropping nine of their last ten, and got blown out by the Hornets last week.

This one won't be close. Portland wins, 128-109.
