Nets vs. Trail Blazers preview

For the second time in a week, the Blazers and Nets will face off. This time, the game takes place in Portland.

Much like the first meeting, the Blazers will be on the second night of a back-to-back, hoping to get a win after a loss. The Blazers fell 128-112 against the Denver Nuggets in their latest matchup, and they need to do what they can to get back in the win column.

Meanwhile, the Nets are also playing on the second night of a back-to-back. They lost to the Sacramento Kings by a score of 126-122 in their latest game. The Nets have not won since March 9 against the Memphis Grizzlies at home. They have lost seven consecutive games, including the first meeting against the Blazers at the Barclays Center.

This is a game the Blazers have to win, given how easy the matchup is and the fact that they are returning home for the first matchup of a four-game homestand. The Blazers need to make up their loss from yesterday, and this is a great opportunity to do just that. A win could put them back in eighth place in the Western Conference standings if the Los Angeles Clippers lose to the Milwaukee Bucks and the Blazers get a win against the Nets.
