Westbrook has struggled against the Blazers over the last few seasons, averaging just 12.8 PPG on 34.9% from the field and 18.5% from deep in his last eight contests vs. Portland. That said, he is now with a team that has dominated this matchup the last few seasons, as the Clippers have won 10 of their last 11 games against the Trail Blazers.

With the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Phoenix Suns all losing yesterday and today, the Clippers got some fortunate outcomes around the league following their loss to Orlando. Now heading to Portland to complete this back-to-back, Westbrook and the Clippers will look to get back in the win column on Sunday night.
