Betting Prediction and Analysis for 11/19/2019
Portland signed Anthony as the team started a ten-day road trip that began in San Antonio last Saturday. The team won against the Spurs to get its second win in eight games. However, they faced Houston Monday night and lost to a large margin.
The Trail Blazers were desperate for a good player after their roster suffered from a series of injuries. Center Jusuf Nurkic is out due to a fractured leg. Pau Gasol hasn’t played a single game this season due to a foot injury. Also, Zach Collins is out because of shoulder surgery.
Starting guard Damien Lillard is excited about Anthony’s signing with the team. He said that Anthony is a Hall of Fame player that can bring something useful to the table. Also, he said that Anthony could make the team better.
On the other hand, the Pelicans won just four games. Two of those victories came in the last three games. They won against the Clippers last Thursday and then a home victory against the Warriors last Sunday.
Also, the Pelicans have several injured players. The team listed Brandon Ingram, Frank Jackson, and Lonzo Ball as questionable for the game. These are some of the things to consider when you bet on basketball.
