BLAZERS' OFFICIAL GAME NOTES ​

• Monday marks the second and final matchup between the Trail Blazers and Nets in 2014-15.

• Portland was originally supposed to conclude its season series with the Nets on Jan. 26 before the game was postponed due to inclement weather.

• The Trail Blazers defeated the Nets, 97-87, at home on Nov. 15. In that game, Damian Lillard had 28 points (4-6 3-PT) and dished out 10 assists for his first double-double of the season. He shot 8-of-14 from the field and made four of his six three-point attempts.

• Portland held Brooklyn to 87 points, one of 12 times that the Trail Blazers have limited an opponent to less than 90 points in a game this season.

• LaMarcus Aldridge has scored 20+ points in each of the past six games against the Nets (no double-doubles during that time).

• LaMarcus Aldridge has shot 50.0% or better in four consecutive games against the Nets. During that time, Aldridge is shooting 39-of-66 from the field (59.0%).

• Brook Lopez has shot at least 50.0% from the field in all nine games he has played against Portland in his career. Lopez has scored 24.0 points over his past four games against the Trail Blazers.

• Last season, The Trail Blazers swept the season series from the Nets for the first time since 2009-10. Portland outscored Brooklyn by 54 points over two games in 2013-14.

• Portland’s 124-80 victory over the Nets last season on Feb. 26 was its largest margin of victory over any team in 2013-14. That margin also represents the biggest win Portland has had against the Nets in franchise history.

• HEAD-TO-HEAD HISTORY:

I also would rather play BKN to get the win tonight and then if needed cancel CLE. Apparently decision is already made though.
