Winners in two of their last three, the Portland Trail Blazers (10-10) hope to build some momentum ahead of a five-game road trip when they welcome the Miami Heat (6-12) to Moda Center on Saturday night. The matchup is the first of a pair of meetings between the two sides this season as the home team claimed victory in both encounters during the 2015-16 campaign.
The Blazers come into Saturday's game on two days rest following a 131-109 win over the Indiana Pacers Wednesday in Portland. Six players recorded double-digit point totals in the victory over Indiana, led by Damian Lillard's 28 points and 10 assists.
