Two teams making noise in the Western Conference playoff hunt meet Sunday evening when the Portland Trail Blazers (28-27) host the Utah Jazz (27-27) at Moda Center. The Northwest Division rivals have met three times thus far in 2015-16 as the Blazers lead the season series, 2-1. As of Sunday, the Blazers sit in seventh place in the west, while the Jazz are on the outside looking in in ninth position.
Portland is coming off its highest offensive output of the season after topping the Western Conference-leading Golden State Warriors, 137-105, Friday night. Damian Lillard led the way with a career-high 51 points, nine three-pointers and six steals.
