The Mavericks conclude their regular season Wednesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. With each team’s playoff seeding set and several key members ailing, the objective for both clubs appears to be keeping everyone healthy rather than tuning up for the postseason. Portland enters this matchup having lost four of its last five, dropping their most recent game to Oklahoma City Monday, 101-90. A win Wednesday gets the Mavericks, who fell to Utah Monday, to 50 for the season.
Season series: Portland leads, 2-1.
Last meeting: March 5, the Trail Blazers won 94-75 but lost guard Wesley Matthews for the season to a torn Achilles tendon.
