The Portland Trail Blazers will look to snap their two-game losing streak Monday night against the LA Clippers at the Moda Center.
The Blazers, without Damian Lillard, lost their last two games to San Antonio and Boston by a combined score of 259-200.
Lillard will be out again tonight with a strained abdomen. But Nassir Little, who has been out with an ankle injury, is listed as questionable.
The Blazers (11-13) sat at 10-8 on Nov. 23 but since have appeared lost and disjointed, even before Lillard went down. Portland has lost five of its last six games and now run the risk of falling three games below .500 for the first time this season.
Portland is are 1-2 against the Clippers this season.
The Clippers have also been struggling. They’ve lost four out of their last five games and seven of their last 10.
