The Miami Heat stay on the road for the fourth game in a row when they touch down at Portland to play the Trail Blazers, who are returning home after a five-game road stint. The Heat arrive at Moda Center in Portland with a 2-game win streak and are favorites against a disappointed home team that blew a 10-point lead in Dallas to slump to another defeat. Outside the play-in places in the West, the Trail Blazers returned with more losses than victories and must win here to stall a ragged season running away from them.

Portland Trail Blazers
Portland are 13-24 in the Western Conference standings, with only the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans below them. They finished their five-game trip with a 2/3 record, blowing a massive chance to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday night. Leading by 10 points with less than five minutes on the clock, Portland conjured several misses and turnovers to hand the initiative to a Mavericks side without stars Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving. Dallas went on a 16-0 run to win the game 117-111. Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe each scored 22 points for the Blazers, while Scoot Henderson hit 12 free throws to end up at 20 points.

Miami has been improving since the uproar over Jimmy Butler, and got immediate revenge over Utah with this victory. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 23 points, and Jaime Jaquez made a telling contribution of 20 points, including five in the clutch.
