Sunday afternoon in the Association sees the Portland Trail Blazers hosting the Toronto Raptors. At 28-39, the Trail Blazers come into this contest sitting 12th in the Western Conference while the Raptors are 11th in the East with an inferior 24-43 record. Let’s get started on the match prediction!

Portland suffered a brutal 114-113 home defeat to the Knicks last Wednesday with Mikal Bridges hitting the game-winning three at the buzzer. The loss marked the fifth in a row for Portland and dropped them to 11 games below .500.

The Trail Blazers will be targeting an immediate response at the Moda Center, where they’ve accumulated an 18-18 record on the season.

It’s been a strange season for the Raptors who have gone through peaks and valleys. They ripped off eight wins from 10 games in January, just to go and lose eight of the next 10 in February. Currently, however, they find themselves going through a purple patch of form.

A 126-118 home victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday was Toronto’s third in a row and their sixth win in the last seven overall.

Raptors center Jakob Poeltl missed out on the team’s win over Utah but could return to action here while Portland big man Deandre Ayton is confirmed out with a calf strain.
