The Lakers will come to Portland off a 122-73 undressing at Dallas on Sunday -- the most one-sided loss in franchise history.
"We didn't show up to play," Lakers coach Luke Walton told reporters. "It's embarrassing for us as a team, an organization, for our fans. The effort wasn't there.
I expect them to be focused with a big effort here tonight as Portland returns home from a 4-game road trip.
The Lakers didn't show up in their last game against Dallas, but I like them to compete hard against a Trail Blazers team playing its first home game following a cross-country road trip. The road team has covered 10 of the past 14 meetings. I'll take the points with the LA LAKERS here on Wednesday night.
