POR vs HOU Dream11: Portland Trail Blazers will be eying their second straight win when they host Huston Rockets at Moda Center in an all-Western Conference matchup in the 2019-20 NBA regular season at Moda Center on Thursday morning (IST). Portland defeated Indiana Pacers 139-129 in one of the highest-scoring games Blazers involved in this season. Damian Lillard was once again the chief architect of Balzers’ win as he scored an incredible 50 points, and also ending the game with 13 assists.
That said, Rockets are also coming into this game on the back of a win following a 117-126 win over Utah Jazz. Despite missing both James Harden and Russell Westbrook, Rockets had their offence coming to the fore in the day, and it was mostly down to Eric Gordon, who ended with 50 points.
