The Blazers are an explosive young team that has played some solid basketball to start the year, even in the midst of losing their head coach to gambling allegations, with a 1-2 record. Like the Lakers, they are also on the second night of a back-to-back after a 114-107 loss to the Clippers on Sunday.

Jrue Holiday anotó 27 puntos y repartió ocho asistencias, además de encestar cuatro tiros libres en los segundos finales para que los Trail Blazers de Portland superaran el miércoles 136-134 al Jazz de Utah.
