NBA: NEW JERSEY (4-7) at PORTLAND (4-7) <h3>Trail Blazers, Nets looking to end losing streaks</h3> New Jersey (4-7) at Portland (4-7) 10:00 pm EST PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- LaMarcus Aldridge and the PortlandTrail Blazers must be thrilled to be returning home. Aldridge and the Trail Blazers aim to remain perfect at homethis season when they host the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday. Portland has won all four of its games at the Rose Garden thisseason, including a trio of impressive victories over theDetroit Pistons, Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Hornets -three teams with legitimate postseason aspirations. But the Blazers have failed to win any of their seven roadcontests this season and limp into Wednesday's matchup aftergetting swept on their recent four-game road trip. Portland's second-leading scorer, Aldridge managed a season-lowseven points Monday as the Trail Blazers dropped a 101-92decision to the Charlotte Bobcats. Jarrett Jack scored 18 points in the loss and appears to havefound his rhythm after two sub-par seasons. Like the Blazers, the Nets enter Wednesday's contest on a losingstreak of their own. New Jersey has lost six straight contestsafter suffering a 102-75 loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday. The Nets have struggled without the services of seven-timeAll-Star Vince Carter, who has missed the last five games afterspraining his right ankle against the Boston Celtics on November10.
