The combined two-way effort of the Blazers has proven to be difficult for top teams to best, however they also benefited from six home games in a row.
Damian Lillard is listed as probable though he is nursing a right knee injury. Maurice Harkless is sidelined with left knee soreness and it is unclear when he will suit up and return to the lineup.
L.A. Lakers
LeBron James leads his team in scoring (26.4 points), assists (7.1) and rebounds (7.8) per game. Still, there is ample work to be done to shore up the defensive side of the hardwood.

Free Portland Trail Blazers vs.L.A. Lakers NBA Prediction:
Although the Lakers managed to finally break the 16 game losing streak to the Blazers it wasn’t accomplished in convincing fashion.
Granted the Lakers defense has improved with Tyson Chandler’s addition to the team, but there are still issues with the 18th ranked defense. Specifically LA allow 115.9 opponent points per game.
