The Portland Trail Blazers will be looking to avenge their 101-97 loss to the Brooklyn Nets back on Nov. 10.
The Brooklyn Nets have lost four of their last five and no longer have their star point guard in D’Angelo Russell, who is out after arthroscopic knee surgery.
The Nets, who are already shorthanded without Jeremy Lin, now have to deal with no Russell to run the show. Watch for Spencer Dinwiddie to play more minutes and handle the playmaking and facilitating for Brooklyn.
Portland has had some serious first quarter woes as of late, scoring just above 19 points per first quarter over the last three games.
