In an exciting Western Conference matchup, the Dallas Mavericks head on to the Moda Center to face the Portland Trail Blazers tonight. The Damian Lillard-led Trail Blazers have been phenomenal this season. Lilliard's clutchness has been off the charts as he sinks game-winners night after night. They have won six of their last eight games and Lillard has led an injury-ridden Trail Blazers squad to the 5th seed in the tough Western Conference.
Meanwhile, the Dallas Mavericks aren't where we expected them to be. Injuries have plagued the team since the beginning of the season and they have often struggled to win games despite an exceptional effort by Luka Doncic. However, they are 8th in the conference standings and are steadily climbing the ladder. The Mavericks have won eight of their last eleven games, including wins over the Brooklyn Nets and the LA Clippers.
