A three-game winning streak means the California team's progress. During that stretch, the Clippers defeated Golden State at home (113-112) after being outscored by 20+ points and beat reigning NBA champion Denver (111-102) for the first time in several years.

Los Angeles also defeated Utah (117-103) in their last meeting in Salt Lake City. Kawhi Leonard had a huge game, scoring 41 points on 6-for-8 shooting from beyond the arc. Paul George had 20 points and 18 points + 12 rebounds - Ivica Zubac. The Clippers are back in the play-in zone of the Western Conference. The record is 12-11.

The Trail Blazers hosted Dallas in their last game. Before that, they had three victories in six games and seemed to be giving the inconsistent Mavericks a fight. But in reality, it didn't work out - 112-125. Neither Anfernee Simons' 30 points nor Shaedon Sharpe's 24 points and nine rebounds helped Portland. The Trail Blazers strengthened their status as one of the worst teams in the Western Conference, where they currently occupy the penultimate place with a record of 6-15.

Portland improved their offense with the return of Anfernee Simons, but the Clippers have excellent defense. Having one of the best shooters in the modern NBA on the floor is unlikely to be a key factor. In addition, Los Angeles plays slow offensively, so we can consider betting on TU in the upcoming game and a win for the Clippers. The previous match between Portland and Dallas showed that the Trail Blazers should not be considered as a serious opponent for the Western Conference contenders.
