The Portland Trail Blazers (13-12) begin a five-game, cross-country road trip Monday night when they visit the Golden State Warriors (21-6) for their only visit to Oakland during the 2017-18 regular season.
Portland begins the trek following a winless four-game homestand that saw point guard Damian Lillard average 28 points and 7.5 assists. The Oakland native is coming off a 35-point performance in Saturday's 124-117 loss to the Western Conference leading Hosuton Rockets. In the defeat, Lillard became to the first and only NBA player to net nine three-pointers in a game this season.
Center Jusuf Nurkić (ankle) and Moe Harkless (quad) will miss their second consecutive game due to injury.
