Portland tries to crawl their way back into playoff contention when they travel to Sacramento. BetOnline.com has the Sacramento Kings –3 point favorites against the Portland Trailblazers with the over/under set at 205 points.
The Trailblazers were seven games out of the playoffs as of Tuesday, when they play at Minnesota. LaMarcus Aldridge has fallen off a bit over the past couple of months, and the young Trailblazers also had to deal with injuries to their leader, Brandon Roy. Every game becomes that much more important for the Trailblazers as it comes down to crunch time.
 The Kings have been idle since a big win over the Lakers last Sunday, and if it was not for injuries to Mike Bibby (who has since been dealt to Atlanta), Kevin Martin and Ron Artest, Sacramento would probably be in the playoff mix somewhere. However, the Kings have dropped nine of ten games in their division, which is usually not a sign of a playoff team. The Trailblazers have won three of their last five meetings with the Kings, and the two have split this season's games. The Trailblazers need to beat teams like Sacramento to have a chance at making the postseason, so look for Portland to play with urgency and come away with a much-needed victory.
