The Portland Trail Blazers have been playing good basketball lately. The home team have won six of their last eight matches heading into this clash.
In their latest match, they faced the Atlanta Hawks at home. They managed to secure a 117-101 victory. It was a much-needed win as that result ended a two-match losing streak.
The Blazers are privileged with home advantage once again. Their performance at Moda Center has met expectations, with the team winning six of their last seven games at this venue.
In contrast, the Los Angeles Lakers have underperformed in recent weeks. The visitors have lost four of their last five games heading into this clash.
