While their goal all season long has been to avoid the play-in tournament, the Trail Blazers, at 37-29 with six games to play, are assured of finishing no worse than 10th, and thus, are guaranteed to at least have a shot at the post-season. But there's still plenty of work to do if they want to avoid having to play their way into the playoffs for the second-straight season.
This feels like a make-or-break weekend for the Trail Blazers in terms of their chances of moving out of the play-in and into the Top 6 of the Western Conference.
