The Portland Trail Blazers are set to make their 2023 calendar year debut tonight with a tilt against the Detroit Pistons at the Moda Center. The 18-17 Blazers would normally feel confident against the 10-29 Pistons, owners of the worst record in the NBA. But Portland has lost 5 of their last 7, having to overcome a problematic start to beat the victory-impoverished Charlotte Hornets at home last week. No game is a guarantee at this point. Nonetheless, it’ll be an opportunity for Portland to get back on the right track before heading out for three moderately-tough road games this week.
