The Blazers have arguably been the single biggest underachiever in the NBA this season. Last year, this team was in the Western Conference Finals. This year, they are seven games under .500; out of the playoffs if they started today. This has been a hotly contested series. The only time the Mavs beat the Blazers by more than a single point since 2018 came last Friday Night, a game where Dallas hit a whopping 20 three pointers and were still in danger of losing the game in the closing minutes. Expect a battle tonight, and Portland getting the win here on their home court.
