Familiar Foes<br />
</h2>

This game will mark the fourth time that Portland and Golden State will faceoff this season. Back in November Portland lost in Golden State, 125-97, when Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson combined for 63 points. They then faced each other in back-to-back games at the end of December, when Portland won in overtime at Oracle 110-109. Jusuf Nurkic went off for 27 points and 12 rebounds, to go along with 24 points from McCollum and 21 points from Lillard. They then fell short in the second game, 115-105, despite getting 40 points from Lillard. This will be the first time that Portland will have to face a fully healthy Warriors lineup that now includes DeMarcus Cousins.

Golden State Tough to Stop<br />
</h2>
<p>
Not many teams can match up to the Warriors, but don’t sleep on the matchups between Lillard and Curry, as well as, McCollum against Thompson. Lillard is having another spectacular season averaging 26.3 points, as he is coming off back-to-back 30-point outings. McCollum is second on the team averaging 21.1 points, as the Trailblazers will need him to return to form after a rough couple of games. The five-year veteran is the second-best scoring option behind Lillard by a long shot and shot a combined 11-of-37 in the losses to Dallas and OKC. Nurkic is a solid center option averaging 15.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks, as he’ll have the duties of guarding Cousins. Portland decided to try and bring in some more scoring before the trade deadline by acquiring Rodney Hood from Cleveland.

<p>
They got him for a decent price, only giving up Nik Stauskus, Wade Baldwin and two future second-round picks. Hood is still getting integrated into the system but did score 14 points in his first game with Portland.
