After dropping a game yesterday on the road to the injury-filled Philadelphia 76ers, the Portland Trail Blazers will look to get back on track tonight against the Brooklyn Nets. The Trail Blazers have alternated wins and losses since March 1st, so if trends continue, tonight should end in Portland’s favor. The Trail Blazers are a young and exciting team, but recently the youth part has caused some mistakes and inconsistencies. In their loss against Philadelphia, Portland committed 17 turnovers. In the game before against Utah, the Trail Blazers had 24 turnovers. The Trail Blazers rank in the last place in the NBA in turnovers by committing on average 17.3 per game. 

The good news for the Trail Blazers is the Nets are only one spot above them. Brooklyn ranks 29th in the NBA with 15.9 turnovers per game. The Trail Blazers should be able to lean on their defense in this game with the Nets missing players like Michael Porter Jr. and Noah Clowney. The Nets have not put up a lot of points recently. In their last 3 games, the Nets have only scored an average of 98 points per game with a combined field goal percentage of 41%. The Nets rank 27th in the NBA in total pace, so if the shots continue to miss, this game should stay well below the total.
