The Portland Trail Blazers are set to face the Brooklyn Nets who have been on fire as of late but have nothing to really play for, while the Trail Blazers are trying to lock up the 8th seed to avoid having to win 2 games in the play-in as the 9th seed. Damian Lillard has had too really put the team on his back these past two games and with how these two teams are playing it'll be a close one but Dame should be able to get the win. In the last 5 games, the Trail Blazers have allowed 118.2 points per game which has lead to Dame having to close out many of these games. The Nets despite resting there starters have been extremely productive scoring 118 in there past 5 games, in those games the Nets only ever lost a game by more than 9 points was in there loss to Boston. With the competitiveness of the Nets, I expect them to challenge the Trail Blazers until dame decides to take over. Ultimately Trail Blazers win but the Nets manage to cover.
Trail Blazers:
Record 34-39
