Portland at L.A. Lakers 9:30 ET
Lakers (+) over Trailblazers- These two division rival met in Portland on Monday and the Trailblazers pulled out a 98-94 victory as the Lakers were without Kobe Bryant as Damian Lillard scored 39 points. Lillard has since been hampered by a lower back injury when he collided with the Heat's Dwyane Wade on Thursday. Kobe's status for tonight's contest is still in doubt and will be made before tip-off. Portland is back in stride and have won 12 of their last 14 games straight-up but will have to deal with a rejuvenated Jeremy Lin who is playing his best ball of the season. Los Angeles is playing better and deserves a look here. Take the LAKERS!
