The Blazers recently beat the Pacers 95-85 on the road. Their top producers on the night were Brandon Roy with 20pts, while Steve Blake added 14pts and Joel Przybilla had 10pts 11 rebounds. Greg Oden returned to Portland's lineup Wednesday night after missing more than a month because of a bone chip in his left knee. He had four points and seven rebounds in his first pro game in his hometown.  Oden knows he doesn't need to be the star on a team that already has 43 victories, he’s just trying to avoid disrupting his team's flow. Portland looks to win three straight on the road for the first time since Nov. 30-Dec. 3, but has lost three in a row to the Cavaliers overall and five straight in Cleveland. The Blazers are 15-19 SU on the road where they average 95.2 ppg and give up an average 96.5 ppg. They are 3-2 SU in their last five road games where they’ve averaged 94 ppg and given up an average 92.6 ppg.

The Cavs recently beat the Magic 97-93 at home. Their top scorers on the night were LeBron James with 43pts 8 assists 12 rebounds, while Mo Williams added 21pts and Zydrunas Ilgauskas pulled down 11 rebounds. LeBron James had 34pts, 14 assists and seven boards in Cleveland's 104-98 win at Portland on Jan. 21. Mo Williams had 33pts and shot 12-for-19 against the Trail Blazers earlier this season. The Cavs are 30-1 SU at home where they average 103.1 ppg and give up an average 88.5 ppg. They are 5-0 SU in their last five home games where they’ve averaged 95.8 ppg and given up an average 85.4 ppg. The Cavs have a four-game lead over Boston atop the East. The Cavaliers are three shy of the club record for wins in a season and they’ll be without the versatile Wally Szczerbiak for up to three weeks with a sprained left knee. The 10-year veteran has played three different positions and is averaging 7.1 points and 3.0 rebounds.
