The Portland Trail Blazers face a very important battle against the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Portland Trail Blazers are heading back out on the road for arguably their biggest game of the season as they take on the Los Angeles Clippers at the Intuit Dome., who have won five straight games going into the contest.
The Clippers are one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment, but their wins come against some of the easier teams in the league. They beat the Dallas Mavericks, Milwaukee Bucks twice, Indiana Pacers, and Toronto Raptors. The Blazers faced a similar stretch in which they beat the Mavericks, Bucks, and Brooklyn Nets on their latest home stand. Now the competition is getting a little bit stiffer, and they head out on the road against the Clippers in what could be a preview of one of the play-in tournament games. This game between the Blazers and Clippers won't directly decide who will get to the postseason, but it could set upin that all-important game. The Blazers and Clippers will also face off in Portland just before the playoffs begin, so that game will also carry some weight. This will be a great opportunity for the Blazers to see what they are dealing with in the Clippers, who will likely be the final boss between them and a spot in the first round in the playoffs. A win could help them move closer to that home court advantage, but it could also give the team some confidence in facing off against a potential playoff opponent.
