Indiana is a tired team playing its fifth road game in eight days, and two of them were in altitude. Portland has been off since Thursday when it lost to Dallas after beating Golden State in a wild overtime game on Monday. The Trail Blazers shot 51 percent against the Mavericks, who shot 52 percent themselves, and Damian Lillard had another monster performance scoring 47 points on 16 of 28 shooting. The Blazers hit 21 of 39 3-point shots in a losing cause. Portland has won and covered the last four meetings and eight of the last nine, and this is the first meeting this season. CJ McCollum is probable for this game after missing the last three with an ankle injury. Look for Portland to continue its mastery over the Pacers. Play the Trail Blazers.
