The Portland Trail Blazers will resume action on Thursday when they kick off an east coast trip in Brooklyn against the Nets.
The club will enter play with a one-game lead for the fourth seed in the Western Conference over the Houston Rockets, with a record of 34-23. In order to clinch home court for the first round of the playoffs for the second straight season, Portland must continue winning ball games.
