The Portland Trail Blazers started a three-game losing streak when they last visited Los Angeles, where they stunned the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers have won six of their previous eight games and are 11-5 since that run ended.
The Clippers have the 23rd-highest offensive rating (110.6) but the fourth-highest defensive rating (107.7).
James Harden, a guard who averages 22.3 points and 8.9 assists per game, is still exceptional. However, it has been Normal Powell’s play that has enabled the Clippers to bounce back from the absence of Kawahi Leonard and the loss of Paul George to Philadelphia.
Powell is hitting 49.6% of his three-point attempts (7.9 attempts) and averaging a team-high 23.6 points on 49.2% shooting.
Powell scored 30 points during the Clippers’ defeat at the Blazers, 106-105. Portland won that game by reducing turnovers to 12 and hitting 42.4% from three-point range.
NBA Cup
In order to qualify for a wild card slot into the in-season NBA Cup tournament’s eight-team knockout phase, the Blazers need to win.
They would then need to lose their respective tournament games against Dallas and Oklahoma City. The Blazers’ simplest route is that.
