76ers-Trail Blazers Preview

Even with a relatively healthy roster, the Portland Trail Blazers couldn't beat the Philadelphia 76ers last season, and they didn't even have to contend with Allen Iverson.

Boasting an impressive four-game winning streak, the Trail Blazers look to avoid their third straight loss to the 76ers, who hope to have Iverson back Monday night.

Portland's run includes victories over Denver, San Antonio, Dallas and Miami, even as it deals with many injuries, and the team has every reason to feel confident heading into a matchup with lowly Philadelphia (7-22).

But the Blazers (20-12) went 0-2 against the 76ers last season and have lost four of the last five meetings. Philadelphia also expects Iverson to return after missing four straight games with knee and shoulder problems.

The 34-year-old Iverson is averaging 15.6 points in five games with Philadelphia since parting ways with Memphis. He's averaging 11.5 points and shooting 28.6 percent in his last two games versus the Blazers.

Portland has had plenty of injury issues of its own. The Blazers beat the Northwest Division-leading Nuggets 107-96 on Friday night, getting 41 points from Brandon Roy even though he was wearing a thin brace to protect his sore left shoulder.

Roy, who missed Wednesday night's win at San Antonio, made a career-high 16 field goals. He has scored 23 points or more in 12 straight games, the longest active streak of 20-plus games in the NBA.

Roy has helped Portland overcome injuries to center Greg Oden (left knee), forwards Nicolas Batum (shoulder), Travis Outlaw (left foot) and Rudy Fernandez (back), and rookies Patrick Mills (right foot) and Jeff Pendergraph (hip). Center Joel Przybilla, meanwhile, underwent season-ending right knee surgery Thursday.

Still, the Blazers have won 10 of their last 12 home games and six of seven overall.

"It's been coming together," forward LaMarcus Aldridge said. "We've been playing really solid basketball."

The Blazers have 45 assists and 19 turnovers over their last two games. They're 16 for 32 from 3-point range during that span.

"This team is playing basketball the right way," coach Nate McMillan said. "They're playing together, and they're playing 48 minutes."

Blazers point guard Andre Miller has turned the ball over twice in his last four contests. He was part of a trade three years ago that ended Iverson's first stint with the 76ers, getting dealt from Denver. The Nuggets traded Iverson to Detroit in November 2008, and he was signed as a free agent with Memphis this past offseason.

Iverson lasted three games there in part due to his inability to accept a backup role. If Iverson returns for this contest, he'll likely start in the backcourt alongside Lou Williams, with rookie Jrue Holiday and Willie Green as the primary backups.

Philadelphia could use the help, having lost three straight heading into the third matchup on a six-game road trip. The Sixers were held below 80 points for the first time in nearly eight weeks and had a season-low 11 assists Saturday in a 97-76 loss to Utah.

"Share the ball and play some team defense and we'll be fine," forward Elton Brand said.

Thaddeus Young was a bright spot for the Sixers, posting 20 points after being held to nine for the second time in three games Tuesday night in a loss to Washington. He had 25 points in a 114-108 overtime victory over Portland on March 23, the last meeting between the teams.

Sixers impressive in snapping Blazers' four-game win streak

PORTLAND, Ore. (NBA.com exclusive) -- For the Philadelphia 76ers, it may have spelled a turnaround.

For the Portland Trail Blazers, a lost opportunity.

Philadelphia took over the game in the third quarter and never looked back in a surprising 114-103 victory at the Rose Garden Monday night.

The 76ers (8-22) had lost 20 of their previous 24 games and were 3-12 on the road coming into the game against Portland, which had won four in a row against playoff teams Miami, Dallas, San Antonio and Denver -- the first three away from home.

The Blazers, who could have moved past Denver into first place in the Northwest Division with a victory, were outscored 61-42 over the final 18 minutes by a team that is anything but playoff-bound.

No question, the 76ers were the better team Monday night.

"They were just stronger down the stretch than we were," Portland's Brandon Roy said. "We didn't have the extra gear to put them away. Coach (Nate McMillan) said he could see it early. They did a good job of scrapping. We didn't make shots. it looked like we had tired legs."

Philadelphia got terrific performances from five players:

• Elton Brand came off the bench for a season-high 25 points and nine rebounds, making 11 of 16 shots in his 30 minutes. He was simply the best player on the floor.

"The most active big man I've played against," Portland rookie Jeff Pendergraph said.

• Allen Iverson scored 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting to go with four rebounds and five assists in his first game back after missing four games with a sore knee.

"For the first couple of minutes," Iverson said, "I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest, but I got my second wind, got into a little rhythm, and I was all right."

• Samuel Dalembert -- who didn't even attempt a field goal in Philadelphia's 97-76 loss at Utah Monday night -- was 7-for-9 shooting, including a pair of 15-foot jumpers. The 6-foot-11 center also had eight rebounds and three blocked shots in his 26 minutes.

• Andre Iguodala scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half and also collected seven rebounds and nine assists with no turnovers in 43 minutes.

• Second-year forward Marreese Speights was almost unerring offensively, making 7 of 8 shots for 14 points off the bench.

Philadelphia dominated the middle, outscoring Portland 60-40 in the paint while recording a Blazer opponent high. The 76ers' 34 third-quarter points and 61 second-half points were also a high for a Portland foe. The Sixers shot .577 from the field, second-best for a team facing the Blazers this season.

"It was a story of everyone playing well," Philly coach Eddie Jordan said. "We gave a great effort."

The Blazers -- who shot .422 and were outrebounded 39-36 -- didn't.

"It was tough for us to get going," said Portland forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who had 17 points and 12 rebounds but made only 7 of 16 shots. "I was trying to find a good rhythm, but nothing could really get going.

"They hurt us inside, and by the end, you could see, we just ran out of gas. No excuses for it. We have to find a way to get energy."

Portland's nucleus has been thinned considerably by injury, notably to centers Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, who are out for the season after knee surgery.

"We know we have to play at a high level to win," Roy said. "[The Sixers'] record doesn't reflect it, but they are a good team. We have to come out and play almost great to win games. Tonight, we just didn't have it."

The Sixers did. They got a huge boost from Brand, and from Iverson, who played probably the best of his six games since returning to Philadelphia on Dec. 3.

"I hope I can give these guys added confidence, and believing we can win games regardless of the situation," the 34-year-old veteran said. "I've been through a lot of wars in my career and I've won a lot of games. So (I want to) just share the experiences I've had with them, and to stay as positive as I can with these guys.

"We're a young team, and a lot of times when things aren't going right, people start pointing fingers and turn a positive thing into something negative. I'm going to be that voice to make sure it doesn't go downhill."

McMillan will do what he can to ensure that the Blazers don't backslide as they prepare for Wednesday's home date with the Los Angeles Clippers.

"Having yourself ready to play is a skill," McMillan said. "The game must motivate you, not having a jersey, a name or an all-star to play against. Tonight, we didn't have that hunger we need every night."
