KEY GAME INFORMATION
HOUSTON: BACKCOURT: SG James Harden will again be the lead ball handler for the Rockets, and the coaching of Mike D'Antoni means he'll have even more opportunities to score than before. For many, he's an easy preseason favorite for MVP. New SG Eric Gordon has never fulfilled his potential, but, if healthy, can spread the floor both alongside Harden and for a bench unit. . . . FRONTCOURT: C Dwight Howard's departure leaves the Rockets bereft of rim protection and rebounding, but opens up greater possibilities on offense. C Clint Capela and C Nene will fill his shoes in the post. Like Gordon, offseason acquisition PF Ryan Anderson will improve the team's spacing. SFs Trevor Ariza and Corey Brewer are both solid defenders who can shoot, although Ariza looked like he may have lost a step last season. . . . BOTTOM LINE: D'Antoni's arrival and Howard's exit indicate that the Rockets will feature a fun, faster-paced offense that Harden should thrive in. But some bad defenders will have to play not-bad defense if Houston is to thrive.
PORTLAND: BACKCOURT: PG Damian Lillard was a snub for the All-Star Game last season, but was awarded Second Team All-NBA status at the year's end, joining the likes of Chris Paul and Kevin Durant. He's one of the best leaders a team could ask for. He and SG C.J. McCollum will dominate the ball, with McCollum being a surprisingly efficient scorer. SG Allen Crabbe, his backup, returns on a big contract and likely with a larger role. . . . FRONTCOURT: PF Al-Farouq Aminu is the best defensive player on the roster, and he averaged nearly 15 points and nine rebounds per game in the postseason last year. C Ed Davis is the other outstanding defender on the front line. SF Evan Turner arrives via free agency to do a little bit of everything except, hopefully, shoot three-pointers. C Mason Plumlee and PF Meyers Leonard both look to take steps forward. . . . BOTTOM LINE: After tons of talent left in free agency left last offseason, the Blazers greatly exceeded expectations by winning 44 games and a playoff series. Their core is young, so there's no reason for them to not keep improving.
PREVIEW
Lillard, Trail Blazers look to drive past Rockets
 

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Portland Trail Blazers have put themselves in the driver's seat in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Now the Trail Blazers have to stay on course.

Portland (36-38) edged ahead of Denver (35-39) with a 122-113 victory over the Nuggets on Tuesday night at Moda Center. The Trail Blazers won the season series 3-1, which is the tiebreaker should the teams finish with the same record.

Portland has six of its final eight games at home, beginning Thursday night against the Houston Rockets. The Nuggets will play six of their last eight games on the road.

"You're in the driver's seat when you control your own destiny," Portland's Damian Lillard said. "We got in the driver's seat after the Lakers' game (a 97-81 win Sunday), but we didn't have the keys to the car.

"(Tuesday) was a battle for the keys to the car. We got the keys; now we have to control where it's going. We know what the destination is, but we have to make sure to stay locked in to get it to where we need to go."

Portland has won 12 of its last 15 games. Guard C.J. McCollum scored 39 points against Denver, but the spotlight was on center Jusuf Nurkic, who recorded a career-high 33 points, 16 rebounds and three blocked shots against the team that traded him in February.

"I knew he'd be ready to play," McCollum said. "He's had this game circled since he got here. We have a slogan for the big Nurk: 'From the bench to the playoffs.' We knew he'd be aggressive, he'd be efficient. He did what we expected."

It's not clear what kind of lineup Houston (51-23) will field when it visits Moda Center. Guard James Harden is struggling with a sore left wrist, and coach Mike D'Antoni may choose to rest him Thursday night. Forward Ryan Anderson is already out for most of the rest of the regular season with a sprained ankle.

Harden made only 5 of 20 shots in a 113-106 loss to Golden State on Tuesday night, but he finished with 24 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds for his 20th triple-double of the season. It's the first time in NBA history that two players (Harden and Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook) have had at least 20 triple-doubles in the same season.

If it's up to Harden, he'll the Trail Blazers. Harden said he is determined to play in every game this season.

"I think it matters, because you aren't leaving your teammates out to dry," he told the Houston Chronicle. "I worry about always having my teammates' back. No matter what, I am always going to be out there unless I'm injured. For the coaching staff, the fans, the front office, I am here to play.

"It's my job to make my teammates better. As long as I can do that at a high level, everybody eats."
