The Portland Trail Blazers take on the New Orleans Pelicans at the Moda Center tonight. It’d be easy to dismiss a game against a team that’s won just 25 of 76 games as trivial. Reality check: if the Blazers don’t win this one, their hard-fought, rallying cry victory against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday won’t matter anymore. It’s win or give up on the 8th seed in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament. Winning seems like a decent idea.
