What to Know

This Thursday, the Portland Trail Blazers are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 115.35 points per game. They have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Philadelphia 76ers at 10 p.m. ET Feb. 11 at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. Both teams come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Portland bagged a 106-97 win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. It was another big night for the Trail Blazers' point guard Damian Lillard, who shot 5-for-10 from beyond the arc and finished with 36 points and five rebounds.

Meanwhile, Philadelphia beat the Sacramento Kings 119-111 on Tuesday. Philadelphia's center Joel Embiid did his thing and posted a double-double on 25 points and 17 boards in addition to six dimes.

Portland is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 4-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

Portland had enough points to win and then some against the 76ers in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, taking their matchup 121-105. Will the Trail Blazers repeat their success, or does Philadelphia have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
