In the game here the Trail Blazers had a great offensive showing in their last game. Now, the Trail Blazers may have some issues as the Brooklyn team has a lot better defense and that should help them out in containing the Trail Blazers offense. Not to mention the Nets should be able to keep Lilliard hemmed up in the game for the most part and that shuts down a large part of the offense for the Trail Blazers allowing the Nets to bring home the win. Final Score, Brooklyn Nets win as the underdog 122-118.
