Portland Trail Blazers Seek Redemption Against Oklahoma City Thunder

Blazers hope to end losing streak with improved lineup in face of Thunder's recent victories.

The Portland Trail Blazers have lost 10 consecutive games against the Oklahoma City Thunder, including a 139-77 blowout on Jan. 11, the second worst loss in franchise history.
The Blazers are expected to enter the game with a better lineup than they did on Jan. 11, with Deandre Ayton’s return giving the Blazers a veteran presence and Malcolm Brogdon starting over rookie Scoot Henderson.
Anfernee Simons, who went 0 of 10 from the field on Jan. 11, is expected to have a much better showing on Tuesday.
The Thunder have won three of their past five games, including their past two, and are looking to keep momentum on their side.
Portland has lost eight of its past 11 games, with the losses coming by an average of 29.3 points.
