The Portland TrailBlazers are going in search of another victory after reverting to have Andre Miller back on the bench leading the second unit including Rudy Fernandez, Pryzbilla, Howard and Bayless.

This adds a bit of experience as well as some scoring power as well as someone to distribute the ball. With a powerful starting line up already in place of Aldrige, Oden, Blake, Roy and the rejuvenated Martell Webster, the Blazers are looking to be a bigger threat than they were last season.

Portland have proven to be a big threat with the 3point shot as they have shown with 10 3-point shots in their last game. Greg Oden has now also start to find his presence inside and Brandon Roy and Steve Blake have been finding more opportunities to kick the ball inside to Oden for the finish.

Chicago on the other hand are struggling to find their scoring feet. Derrick Rose has primarily mentioned the loss of Ben Gordon, the top scorer for Chicago over the last 4 years, as the primary reason for his struggle as well as of the team.

The Bulls have been averaging 90ppg over their last 5, and with nobody ready to step up to the scoring in a big way, it has been a struggle so far.

Luol Deng has been the only consistent scorer for the Bulls this season, with Hinrich, Salmons, Noah trying to pitch in as much as they can, but without good rebounding due to the absence of Tyrus Thomas, they have been struggling to get many second choice opportunities.

Overall the total is set low, and we can definitely expect the Blazers to go over the 100 point total especially at home, and Chicago have just lost 2 on the trot against to strong teams Denver and Lakers, scoring 93 points, and will be inspired to improve their scoring in this outing.
