The Portland Trail Blazers, who have lost only six games at home, should have a good opportunity to get back on track versus the New Jersey Nets tonight.

Portland had its 12-game home win streak end Wednesday night, shooting 41.0 percent in a 93-89 loss to Dallas. It was the fourth-worst scoring game of the season for the Blazers at the Rose Garden, where they are averaging 102.2 points.

The 6.5-point underdog Nets have lost five of six on the road, allowing 107.3 points per game during that stretch. They've given up 109.3 points a contest in dropping three of their last four overall.

The one thing the Nets have going for themselves is they have the top scoring backcourt in the league.

Devin Harris is averaging 22.7 points for the Nets while fellow guard Vince Carter averages 20.6. They also combine for 11.7 assists and 8.2 rebounds a contest.
