This is clearly a game the Trail Blazers should win, but that was also true Friday night against Dallas, and Portland did not take care of business. That makes this matchup a little more interesting than it otherwise would have been, because now the Blazers need to respond and avoid letting one bad loss turn into something more damaging. On paper, Portland has a huge advantage, entering as a 15.5-point favorite against a Wizards team with only 17 wins all season.
