KEY GAME INFORMATION

PORTLAND: With LaMarcus Aldridge gone, Damian Lillard has free rein in Portland. He's going to get more shots, but he'll have to deal with a few more hands in his face . . . Gerald Henderson provides defensive alongside Lillard, but there will be times when Portland can't stomach his lack of an outside shot . . . Head coach Terry Stotts wants C.J. McCollum to work both guard spots. They might need his offense alongside Lillard to offset the loss of Aldridge . . . Allen Crabbe had a good summer and could break into the rotation as a deep specialist . . . Pat Connaughton could become a 3-and-D guy off the bench . . . Tim Frazier ia insurance in case McCollum doesn't work out as a back-up point guard . . . Al-Farouq Aminu has proven to be a versatile lockdown defender, something that will take the heat off Portland's guards. He's unlikely to develop into much of anything on the other side of the court, though . . . He's more of a stopgap solution, but Ed Davis gives them a serviceable veteran option at the 4 . . . They are not going to find another LaMarcus Aldridge any time soon, but Noah Vonleh has the upside to be a very good two-way player. His ability to step away from the basket is what this offense will need. He's a project after missing most of his rookie year in Charlotte, but Vonleh is the highest-upside big on the roster . . . Moe Harkless gives them another solid, defense-first wing to bring off the bench. He's a zero in the half-court offense and not much better defensively, but the Blazers seem intent on giving Mason Plumlee a shot due to his athleticism . . . With range stretching to the three-point line, Meyers Leonard should have a big role on a team searching for offense . . . Chris Kaman is Plan B at the 4 and the 5.

HOUSTON: Everything the Rockets do offensively will continue to go through James Harden, who for all intents and purposes is their point guard. And he's a damn good one, arguably the most complete offensive guard in the league . . . Ty Lawson; like Harden, usually operates with the ball in his hands. The pairing can work, but Lawson might be better off anchoring Houston's hyper aggressive second unit . . . Houston could very well use Patrick Beverley in the starting lineup at times to take some of the defensive heat off Harden. The best guess is that he's close to an even split with Lawson at the point . . . Marcus T. Thornton gives them another aggressive, attacking perimeter player on the second unit. Trevor Ariza didn't shoot it well in his first year with Houston, but he does enough little things to make up for it . . . Terrence Jones will once again look to break through as more than a part-time player, but too often he's exposed as a tweener . . . Corey Brewer is perfect in Houston's scrambling, attacking second unit . . . He was having a solid season before back surgery, and Donatas Motiejunas could end up pushing Jones to the bench . . . K.J. McDaniels never got going in Houston due to a wrist injury, but he's a potentially nice 3-and-D guy . . . Clint Capela showed flashes as a rookie and can play the 4 and 5 . . . Rookies Sam Dekker and Montrezl Harrell are most likely ticketed for the D-League. The regular season will again be more of a warmup for Dwight Howard, who has been too fragile to play full-time minutes before the postseason. Look for him to pick up a handful of DNPs late in the year, and he will play fewer than 35 minutes more often than not. That said, he is still one of the league's few truly dominant big men.

PREVIEW

Trail Blazers-Rockets Preview
By MATT BECKER STATS Editor

Houston Rockets interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff is confident his team won't get caught looking ahead to the All-Star break.

While James Harden may ponder next weekend's festivities as the Rockets' lone All-Star, he certainly won't look past a couple of matchups with the Portland Trail Blazers.

Harden looks to bounce back from one of his worst offensive showings of the season Saturday against a Trail Blazers team he routinely torments.

The Rockets (27-25) started slowly Thursday against slumping Phoenix, trailing 20-5 midway through the first quarter before scoring 37 in the second period en route to a 111-105 win. Corey Brewer had a season-high 24 points and Trevor Ariza added 22 as Houston scored a season-best 38 points off 24 turnovers.

Winners of two in a row following a three-game losing streak, Bickerstaff isn't worried about the Rockets thinking about their approaching week-long break.

"Mental toughness, the ability to focus, understanding how important each game is for us, won't allow us to do those things," Bickerstaff said. "We trust our guys to do the right things and prepare themselves the right way. We go into the All-Star break Thursday and we won't allow - they won't allow themselves - to do anything otherwise."

After this game, the Rockets won't play at home again until Feb. 27 against San Antonio. They visit Golden State on Tuesday and Portland (24-27) the next night before resuming a five-game road stretch after the break with Phoenix, Utah and the Trail Blazers again.

Harden probably has the dates with Portland circled.

Since joining the Rockets before the 2012-13 season, his 32.8 points per game against the Blazers are the most by any player.

He has four 40-point games in his last five matchups, tallying 45 in this season's first meeting, a 108-103 overtime win Nov. 18 that tipped off hours after the unexpected firing of Kevin McHale. He had all nine of Houston's points in the extra session after scoring 17 in the fourth quarter.

Harden had 17 points - 10.7 below his average - on 4-for-19 shooting Thursday, as he failed to score in the first quarter for the first time this season.

Rebounding from an off night hasn't been a problem for the four-time All-Star, as Harden is averaging 33.9 points in the games immediately following the seven prior times he's scored fewer than 20.

Portland has a dynamic scorer of its own in Damian Lillard, who had 15 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter Thursday against Toronto. However, it wasn't enough in a 110-103 loss that snapped a season-high five-game winning streak.

Lillard, who added 11 assists, has been in a bit of a shooting slump from 3-point range, though, going 6 of 31 in the last five games. He went 10 for 10 from the free-throw line but made 1 of 6 3-point tries and shot 6 of 19 at Houston in November, totaling 23 points and six turnovers.

Lillard and Harden are among the league leaders in turnovers with Lillard at 3.3 per game and Harden averaging 4.4.

The Blazers are on the road for the first time since Jan. 18 after going 5-2 on a homestand and have won four of six away from Portland. They started the season 5-14 on the road.

"It doesn't get any easier. James Harden and Memphis (on Monday), going into their house. That's going to be tough," guard C.J. McCollum said. "The schedule is swinging back to stronger teams, upper-echelon teams and we got to compete every night."
