Portland Trail Blazers Hunting Another Win
Portland was dealing with a ten-game losing streak until they beat the Charlotte Hornets the other night. Tonight, the Trail Blazers have a chance to get another win under their belt against a fellow bottom standings team. This gives them the opportunity to end their season on a better note.
Also, this game will be good for Scoot Henderson. He has had a difficult season but played well in his last game against the Hornets. Henderson will most likely get a lot of minutes tomorrow night and will have to play well for his team to win. Another good game against Washington could help boost the rookie’s confidence.
