Los Angeles Lakers Form
Los Angeles come into this matchup on the back of a loss that ended a three-game win streak and left them 6-5.
The Lakers made a decent start to the season as they won three of their first five games, but their form cooled off on the road.
They started a three-game skid with a 120-101 defeat in Orlando, before losing 108-107 in Miami and 128-94 at Houston.
Los Angeles turned things around in their tournament opener, winning 122-119 in Phoenix, and they backed that up with a 116-110 home win against Portland.
The Lakers then improved to 2-0 in the tournament with a 134-107 blowout of Memphis, but failed to make it four-in-a-row as they lost 125-110 at home to Sacramento on Wednesday.
Portland Trail Blazers Form
Portland come into this matchup in need of a win, having lost each of their last five games to fall to 3-7.
The Trail Blazers opened the season with a three-game losing skid, but they were able to get back to .500 in early November.
They won 99-91 in Toronto and 110-101 in Detroit, before returning home to beat Memphis 115-113 in overtime in their opening tournament game.
Portland have not won since though, returning to losing ways with a 112-110 defeat to the Grizzlies.
The Trail Blazers then went out on the road to lose 121-118 (OT) in Sacramento, 116-110 at the Los Angeles Lakers and 115-99 in Utah, before heading home for a 109-95 loss to Cleveland.
Verdict
Los Angeles lost last time out, but they were on a good run prior to that and are backed to bounced back at the expense of struggling Portland.
