Playing the Portland Trail Blazers (19-26) for the second time in three games, the Dallas Mavericks (27-16) are looking to pick up the pieces from Tuesday’s game where they fell to a conference foe and lost culture-setter Dwight Powell to a season-ending injury.
The Trail Blazers and Mavericks have split the season series thus far with Dallas picking up the most recent victory last week. In that matchup Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard dueled and scored 35 and 34 points respectively, but the Mavericks were able to sink 20 triples and won 120-112.
