What to Know

The Portland Trail Blazers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Los Angeles Clippers at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday at Staples Center after having had a few days off. The Trail Blazers haven't won a matchup against Los Angeles since March 12 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought.

A well-balanced attack led Portland over the Oklahoma City Thunder every single quarter on their way to victory this past Saturday. Portland really took it to Oklahoma City for a full four quarters, racking up a 133-85 win at home. The game was pretty much decided by the half, when the score had already reached 65-46. Portland's shooting guard CJ McCollum did his thing and had 20 points.

Meanwhile, the Clippers strolled past the Los Angeles Lakers with points to spare on Sunday, taking the contest 104-86. It was another big night for Los Angeles' small forward Kawhi Leonard, who almost dropped a triple-double on 19 points, ten rebounds, and eight assists.

Portland is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Trail Blazers, who are 25-24 against the spread.

Their wins bumped Portland to 30-19 and Los Angeles to 33-18. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Portland and the Clippers clash.
