The NBA cross-conference clash is upon us as the Portland Trail Blazers welcome the Detroit Pistons to the Moda Center on Monday. The Blazers are in tenth place in the Western Conference standings, while the Pistons lead the Eastern Conference. Here's our match prediction. 

For a team that had lost three straight games, it is fair to say the Portland Trail Blazers have started to find their rhythm with three consecutive wins. 

In their recent match, they faced the Kings at the Golden 1 Center and secured a 98-93 victory. Deni Avdija was the man of the moment as he led the team with a game-high 24 points while grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out 11 dimes.

The Blazers aim to get back to .500 at home with a win tonight. They've won five and lost six of their last 11 matches at the Moda Center. 

The Detroit Pistons have laid down a marker for the rest of this season, with their sights firmly set on the title after finishing sixth in the previous campaign. 

In their recent match, they secured a 112-86 home victory against the Charlotte Hornets. That result marked their fifth win in six games.

The Pistons have been impressive away from home and come into this clash boasting the best away record in the East. They've navigated 13 games and have won nine of those outings (L4).
