NBAWednesday, 20 March 2024 at 13:52
The Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers are set to kick off a two-game mini-series starting Wednesday, heightening the stakes for both teams. With the Clippers unbeaten against their opponents this season, another victory in the first encounter could significantly bolster their dominance in this head-to-head fixture. Despite being on the road, the Clippers are heavily favored to secure a win, given the Blazers' undermanned roster.
Previous Encounter:
The Clippers emerged victorious in the first matchup with a convincing 112-100 win on Nov. 4 at the Wells Fargo Center. Notably, LA's success was bolstered by the absence of key Blazers players such as Robert Williams, Shaedon Sharpe, and Malcolm Brogdon. Although the tide has turned this time around, with Portland facing uncertainties regarding Jerami Grant and Matisse Thybulle's availability, the Blazers remain determined to compete.
LA Clippers vs Portland Trail Blazers Preview:
LA Clippers have been facing challenges this month, posting a 6-4 win-loss record despite the urgency to maintain momentum. Meanwhile, Portland, though undermanned, cannot be underestimated, particularly on their home turf. While the Clippers have players listed as questionable, their trio of superstars remains active, ready to lead the charge.
