On the other end, they are holding opponents to an average of 109.8 points per game, which is eighth fewest in the league.

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers (41-30) have won eight of their last 10 games, but they are coming off a loss in their most recent contest. They will look to get back on track and close out their season with a win, as they sit sixth place in the West, 1.0 games behind fifth place. They have been strong at home and have one last chance to improve on their, 19-16, home record. Damian Lillard leads the team, averaging 28.9 points, 7.5 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game. C.J. McCollum is averaging 23.1 points, 4.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game, while Norman Powell is averaging 17.0 points on 44 percent shooting. The Trail Blazers are averaging 115.9 points per game, which is fifth most in the league, and they are shooting an average of 38.5 percent from long range, which is sixth best in the league. They also do a great job taking care of the ball, as they limit themselves to a league-low 10.7 turnovers per game.
