The Trail Blazers have short revenge here. They were buried, 116-86, on the road by the Clippers just four days ago.

Damian Lillard and Portland got back on track rebounding to win impressively at home two days ago beating Memphis, 116-96. The Trail Blazers were sharp in their previous home game, too, defeating the Suns, 134-105.

I see the Trail Blazers motivated and ready to destroy a disjointed Clippers team that has not found an identity without Kawhi Leonard.

The Clippers' lone victory was the one against Portland. Lillard had an off-shooting night in that game making just 4-of-15 field goal attempts. I don't see that happening again.

Despite Paul George playing well to begin the season, the Clippers are 1-3. They just lost, 92-79, at home to the Cavaliers this past Wednesday. That's highly troubling.
