Portland Trail Blazers
Portland started its post-All Star Break schedule with seven games in a row on the road. It was awfully impressive, at least right up until the end. It won five of the first six and lost at Toronto by two in the other; it finished up with a loss at Memphis, however.
Then the Blazers returned to the Moda Center, lost an overtime game to Oklahoma City, beat Phoenix, and now they’re on the road again.

This will be the start of another three in a row away from home. They go to New Orleans and then San Antonio after this trip to the Staples Center.

Rodney Hood left Saturday’s win with an apparent hip injury. It’s not known whether he’ll play in this game but his loss would be a big one for the Blazers. He’s been playing about 25 minutes a night of late for Portland and scoring, if not modestly, than in bunches.
He had 27 points in 24 minutes at Charlotte and has injected the bench with scoring from a variety levels. He’s one of the primary reasons why both Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley recently picked Portland to win the West on TNT.
Los Angeles Clippers
LA will host Boston on Monday night, when the Celtics go for a four-game road trip sweep through California. Boston has already beaten Golden State, Sacramento, and the Lakers.
The Clippers have been playing the best of all those teams, though, winners of four in a row and six out of eight. They won at Sacramento on March 1 and have been at home ever since, winning vs. the Knicks, Lakers, and Thunder to open the month 4–0. They won’t hit the road again until March 21.

Patrick Beverly has been a key player of late, shutting down LeBron James earlier last week and doing the same to Paul George in the Clippers’ last win over the Thunder. Beverly went 0-for-3 from the field in that game but finished with seven rebounds, six assists, and a +22, due in large part to his stifling D. He will bother Damian Lillard in this one.
But the Trail Blazers have other great guards next to Lillard to take the pressure off him in a matchup like this one. With Beverly not having the impact he’s used to having on defense, he won’t be nearly as valuable and the Clippers won’t be quite as good.

Free Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Clippers NBA Prediction: I like Portland.
…Not to cover anything, but to win. It’s contingent on Hood being fine to come back and play regular minutes, though. I do think Portland will need him against a good Clipper bench.
