One team that has played its best basketball on the road and another that hasn't won since the last time it was at home will find themselves in their favorite place when the Portland Trail Blazers visit the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Both teams are coming off losses, the Trail Blazers fell 112-100 at home against the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, while the Kings dropped a 122-97 decision at Houston on Monday. The first matchup of the season between the Western Conference foes is expected to look a whole lot different than the clubs' duels in recent years. Those meetings often featured a shootout between star point guards Damian Lillard and De'Aaron Fox. But the Trail Blazers dealt Lillard to Milwaukee in the offseason, while the Kings have lost Fox to a sprained right ankle early this season, leaving both teams scrambling a bit to find a successful new look. Fox is expected to be back soon, but no doubt the Kings missed him while they were stunned two times in three nights in Houston. This is a great public fade against the Kings, and we think Portland can hang tough and we will roll with the Blazers tonight.
