The Blazers and the Celtics meet on Friday night in a duel with Bostonian favoritism, even though the current runners-up have slowed down in recent weeks and are no longer the favorites for the ring, but with a quota of 4, 50 to 1, they have been surpassed by the Bucks (4.20 to 1). Despite their irregularity and several setbacks with 5 wins in the last 10 games, the Celtics are second in the Eastern Conference with 48 wins and 22 losses. And today they have a good opportunity to abandon that negative dynamic because they visit a team in crisis. The Blazers are 13th in the West with a 31-38 mark and are still in free fall. Because after four consecutive defeats they have already lost 7 of their last 10 games.
