Brooklyn Nets vs Portland Trail Blazers Betting Preview

The Brooklyn Nets travel to Portland to take on the Trail Blazers in a matchup set to tip off at 10:00 PM ET on January 3, 2023, at Moda Center. Both teams have struggled this season, with the Nets sitting at 13-26 and the Trail Blazers slightly better at 13-25.

Portland comes into this game with a slight edge, having had three days of rest since their last outing, a disappointing 119-98 loss to the Miami Heat. This extra time off could benefit the Trail Blazers, allowing players to recover and prepare. Meanwhile, the Nets are not only dealing with the pressures of a five-game losing streak but also the challenges of a long cross-country trip, which could impact their performance.

Currently, the Trail Blazers are favored by 6.0 points, with a moneyline of -235, reflecting their stronger implied win probability of 68%. The Nets, with a moneyline of +200, have an implied win probability of just 32%. This discrepancy suggests that oddsmakers expect the Trail Blazers to take advantage of their home-court advantage.

While both teams are not in great form—Brooklyn has lost 20 of their last 30 games—the Trail Blazers may benefit from their extra rest and the Nets' travel fatigue. Betting on Portland to cover the spread seems like a reasonable approach, especially given the Nets' current struggles and the Trail Blazers' need to turn around their season. As the game approaches, the focus will be on whether the Nets can break their losing streak or if the Trail Blazers can capitalize on their favorable conditions.
