Date/Time: Wed, Oct 31 / 10:10:00 PM ET, Rose Garden, Portland, ORThe Mavericks successfully defeated the Lakers 99-91 yesterday opening a can of worms in their superstar lineup.
"We haven't had an opportunity to really play together as much as we want, but we're going to get it," Dwight Howard said in a post-game interview.
Tonight, they’ll head north to Portland to take on the Trailblazers and try to prove naysayers wrong.
The Lakers won two of three against Portland last season, but Portland has won 16 of 20 games against the Lakers at the Rose Garden.
Sports bettors should note that the Trail Blazers are 1-3 against LA in season openers. Portland hasn’t lost a season opener since 2008. But their 28-38 performance last year was far from impressive.
Giving Blazers fans some faith, is the fact that they have LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, and Wesley Matthews in their corner.
They also have Damian Lillard, who is said to be an early favorite for Rookie of the Year, leading the NBA with 16.2 points per game in the preseason. If he can continue that trend, it’s possible that the Lakers could find themselves strongly positioned for their second game of the season.
Game Odds:
Los Angeles Lakers: -2.5 -110, ML -145
Portland Trail Blazer: +2.5 -110, +125
Game Total: 191, 0/u -110
