Who's Playing

Portland (home) vs. Sacramento (away)

Current Records: Portland 8-13; Sacramento 8-11

What to Know

The Portland Trail Blazers will take on the Sacramento Kings at 10 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Portland's and the Los Angeles Clippers' game on Tuesday was up for grabs at halftime, but Portland was thoroughly outmatched in the second half. The Trail Blazers found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 117-97 punch to the gut against Los Angeles.

Meanwhile, in a sloppy game that saw the teams combine for 36 turnovers, the Chicago Bulls took down Sacramento 113-106 on Monday. The losing side was boosted by PF Richaun Holmes, who had 20 points along with nine rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Portland are expected to win a tight contest. Their home court has been no bettor's paradise, though, as they've failed to beat the spread in four of their seven home games.

Portland came up short against Sacramento the last time the two teams met in November, falling 107-99. A big part of the Trail Blazers' success was G Damian Lillard, so Sacramento will need to focus on keeping him in check if they want to improve their luck.
