The Blazers are on the third game of their homestand as they take on the struggling Mavs in hopes of getting over the .500 mark. The Blazers have made light work of the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks earlier in the week, and now it's the Mavs' turn to get a shot in Portland.

The Mavs won't be as easy of an opponent as the Nets and Bucks considering they have been competitive over the last couple of games. They have lost five in a row coming into the game, but those include overtime defeats against the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors, both of whom are fighting for positioning in the Play-In Tournament.

The Mavs lost to the Denver Nuggets by seven points in their last game, showing that they won't be an easy out against the Blazers.

This will be a winnable game for the Blazers, but they are going to have to keep their offense up. The Mavs have allowed 129 points or more in every game on the losing streak, so Portland will have chances of running up the scoreboard in another chance to get closer to the No. 8 seed in the West.
