Blazer's Edge · Feb 20, 2025
Blazers vs. Lakers Preview
The Portland Trail Blazers are coming out of the All-Star break to face the Los Angeles Lakers at home in Portland.
Losers of three in a row, the Blazers arguably have more clarity about the rest of the season than they had during their January/February hot streak. After getting dangerously close to flirting with a play-in berth - and at one point being as close to 21st-best draft position as sixth-best - their recent losses and the unfortunate calf injury to Deandre Ayton should help steer Portland closer to where they should be: the top end of the lottery.
Portland Trail Blazers (23-32) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (32-21) - Thu. Feb. 20 - 7pm Pacific
