In the Portland game the Mavs shot a scorching FG% of 55.1 while holding the Blazers to a FG% of 40.4% and still almost lost. The reason was that the Blazers dominated the offensive glass with 22 offensive rebounds while Dallas only had 8. The Mavs must hit the boards hard in this game considering it is in Portland and the Blazers will likely not have a poor shooting night again.

The Blazers are led by their guards of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum and while this duo did combine for 48 points in the recent loss to the Mavs they combined to shoot only 17/48 from the field.
The one player that kept the Blazers in the Dallas game was Mason Plumlee, who grabbed 19 boards and 10 offensive boards.
If the Blazers can rebound like they did against Dallas in their last game and hit some shots they should win this game to give them a little breathing room in the West.
