Portland is just an average road team made worse by the absence of Wesley Matthews. The Trail Blazers lost 121-113 in their lone road game since Matthews went down with a ruptured left Achilles tendon.



Toronto has been slumping, but the Raptors took a huge step beating Miami, 102-92, this past Friday. Kyle Lowry is back at point guard and the Raptors are healthy. There has been nothing wrong with their top-five offense. They are averaging 105.5 points per game during their last six games, which is slightly above their season average.
