Bruce’s Analysis:
The Blazers hit Golden 1 Center after drubbing the Luka-less Lakers on Saturday when Portland hit 52% from the floor and Shaeden Sharpe paced the attack with 25 points. That was win seven in nine for the Blazers and sets up a second night of back-to-back scenario, though Portland has won five of seven in the quick turnarounds this season. Note explosive Dani Avidja (back) has missed the past week and is iffy tonight. A bit more reason to ride Sacto now that Domantas Sabonis has returned to active duty, scoring 13 in 21 minutes during his return game Friday vs. Washington, and this has been some 4-0 homestand for the Kings, all double-digit wins, victims including the Rockets, Knicks, and Lakers!
