Since San Antonio lost to the Clippers the Blazers currently hold a three game margin over both the Spurs and Jazz with all teams having four games remaining.
Despite holding a three game margin over both squads there is some intrigue to the closing schedule because the Blazers play both in their final four games and haven’t secured either tiebreaker.
Granted it would require Portland losing all four games and one of Utah or San Antonio winning out, but the opportunity exists until Portland win once more.

Ed Davis (ankle) at versus the Rockets and is questionable against the Rockets. Maurice Harkless (knee) will undergo arthroscopic surgery and be re-evaluated in two weeks. CJ Wilcox (knee) remains out following knee surgery and continues to rehab Portland’s NBA G League affiliate.
Houston Rockets
A decisive win over the Wizards should appease head coach Mike D’Antoni’s concerns regarding the Rockets rhythm. D’Antoni voiced his concern following the loss to the Spurs stating Houston’s offense had been regressing down the stretch.
With the victory over Washington the Rockets claimed the best home court record in the NBA. To close out the regular season the goal for the Rockets is to keep their offense in rhythm, tweak the defense and above all get everyone healthy.

Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Houston Rockets NBA Prediction:
The Blazers should enter this match with two goals in mind. To gain a psychological edge via a win since the Rockets have owned them recently. And, take matters into their own hands by sewing up the third seed.
With neither squad having a major objective beyond remaining healthy it’s unlikely this match has the playoff intensity so many other games are currently demonstrating to close the season.
