The meeting between Washington and Portland promises to be interesting. Washington is the favorite, having confidently earned that status in their recent games. The team has demonstrated strength by defeating Milwaukee and even showing a fighting spirit in their loss to the Lakers. Portland, after defeating Charlotte, was able to break their losing streak, but there is a high risk of complacency after this victory. In the last two meetings, Washington has emerged victorious over Portland, which adds confidence to the club. Taking into account the form and motivation of the teams, it can be assumed that Washington will once again win this match.
