Both are up and down but either can make it a long night for you on the boards. They still retain a couple of strong frontcourt players in Erick Dampier and Brandon Bass. Desagana Diop was traded to the Charlotte Bobcats a couple weeks ago. Jerry Stackhouse has been out most of the season, taking a scoring weapon away from their bench. The Mavs are missing a couple names you might be used to seeing. If Portland loses containment on one of Dallas' main scorers and the defense has to bail into rotations all night the Mavericks will probably kill us. That's been an effective strategy against the Blazers this year. Between those four guys the Mavericks want to overwhelm you, putting so much pressure on your defense that somebody gets an open look.

Jason Kidd remains the assist man (8.3) plus he's throwing in some rebounds (6.4) and he retains the deadly three-point aim he discovered upon his arrival in Dallas. Josh Howard hasn't contributed as much as expected but he's been shooting quite well lately despite being under his scoring average in the last two games. Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Terry are ripping it up.
They've scored 105 or more in 5 of those 6 wins. The Mavericks are also on a nice little roll, having won 3 in a row and 6 of their last 8. Winning tonight will not be an easy task. This will be the game that makes that distinction. It's time to go from "doing pretty well" to "downright hot". They can transform this from a nice little run into the stretch that eventually secured their playoff seeding. But the Blazers can exceed expectations with a win tonight and a follow-up on Friday. Frankly that was expected in February as the schedule was more favorable. The Blazers are on a nice little run right now. That last sentence is the one to concentrate on. If they win it's probably going to be a great one. If they lose it's probably going to be a good road trip. That means that tonight the Blazers are in a favorable situation. Any team can beat any other team on a given night but a loss to the Thunder on Friday would go down as one of the bigger letdowns of the season.

This game starts at 5:30 pm on CSN locally and on NBA TV nationwide.Īfter drawing to an inside straight on the river and walking away with the whole pot on Monday night the Blazers are basically playing with house money for the rest of this trip.
