Tuesday’s matchup is the second of four meetings between the two sides in 2015-16. In the first meeting, CJ McCollum’s historic night of 35 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and four steals propelled the Trail Blazers to a 98-94 victory in Sacramento on December 27. McCollum became the first NBA player to record such a statline since Kevin Garnett in 2004, and the first Portland player to do so since Clyde Drexler in 1992.
The Trail Blazers lead the all-time series versus the Kings, 123-76, with a 80-18 edge in Portland. Terry Stotts’ squad has won three-straight versus Sacramento, dating back to October 2014. Portland is 10-2 in its last 12 games at Moda Center against the Kings.
Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. on CSNNW and Rip City Radio 620. Tickets are still available at Trailblazers.com.
