The Portland Trail Blazers wrap up their 5-game road trip tonight against the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center. Tip off is at 5pm, Pacific Time, and fans can catch it on RIP City Sports Network or NBA League Pass. Since their last series with Portland back in early January, the Rockets have shown steady improvement on defense and offense, even without Stephen Adams due to injury. They've tightened up their game, overall. Reed Shepard has been on fire lately, playing the best basketball of his young career and helping boost the team's consistency. For Houston to drop this one, it likely comes down to sloppy turnovers and getting out rebounded, areas where they can't afford to slip at home. Experts see the Rockets taking the win, backed by their strong home record and motivation from that earlier matchup with Portland. Thanks to our sponsor for supporting today's coverage, your pillow.
