What to Know

The Los Angeles Lakers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Portland Trail Blazers at 10:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Moda Center at the Rose Quarter. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, the Lakers nows face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.

Los Angeles was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 107-104 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. What made the defeat an especially bitter pill for Los Angeles to swallow was that they had been favored by 10.5 points coming into the matchup. Los Angeles’ loss came about despite a quality game from power forward Anthony Davis, who posted a double-double on 29 points and 18 boards in addition to five assists.

Speaking of close games: Portland narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Indiana Pacers 110-106. Among those leading the charge for Portland was shooting guard Norman Powell, who had 25 points.

Los Angeles is now 5-4 while the Trail Blazers sit at a mirror-image 4-5. Two stats to keep an eye on: The Lakers come into the game boasting the second highest field goal percentage in the league at 47.40%. Less enviably, Portland has allowed their opponents to shoot 46.60% from the floor on average, which is the fifth highest shooting percentage allowed in the league.
