Charlotte Hornets at Portland Trailblazers Overview
Charlotte continues to stumble as they extended their losing streak to four games with a loss against Sacramento in Charlotte on Saturday. The Hornets have lost their previous two games by a three-ball in each of these contests. Portland’s notoriously porous defense has been the huge factor over the span of the 2016-17 season. Despite the defensive deficiencies, the Trailblazers can produce offense at will on the shoulders of their back court guns Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Portland had resurged as of late, winning their previous three and last two in Rip City overall before taking Golden State to the wire in a bitter loss on Sunday.
