The Portland Trail Blazers are facing the Sacramento Kings at Portland’s Moda Center tonight. The Blazers are fresh off of an inspirational win against the Golden State Warriors, a rarity in recent weeks.
The Kings are in an even worse predicament, carrying a 6-20 record this season amid a host of injuries on a perhaps-misguided roster. This is a chance for Portland to capitalize on a weaker opponent. Can they overcome their propensity to play close games no matter who suits up against them and cruise to a win?
Here are the basics for the evening as you watch:
Portland Trail Blazers (10-16) vs. Sacramento Kings – (6-20) Thurs., Dec. 18 – 7:00pm Pacific

This is your thread to talk about the second half with fellow fans! Here’s what we ask in our discussion threads:
- Stay on the topic of the game during official Game Day threads. We ask that the focus be a little tighter because everyone is gathering for the same reason, the game that unites us all.
- Don’t troll. Talk about basketball, not other commenters. Be smart and charitable—or at least honest and relatable—in the discussion. Friction happens, but treat this like your living room, not an anonymous message board. (Also avoid the classic internet trolling techniques: overt snark, comment repetition, etc.)
- Obviously no language that diminishes people based on race, gender, orientation, and the like is allowed. If you’re going to insult the L*kers, at least be creative.
- Blazer’s Edge is a non-profanity site. Yes, even though referees exist.
Thanks for being a part of the discussion. Enjoy the game and join us after for analysis and more!
