DETROIT – The Portland Trail Blazers (9-13) will face a tough test Friday as they take on the Detroit Pistons (17-5) at Little Caesars Arena. Tip-off is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. PST.

Portland is looking to build on a recent 122-110 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, ending a three-game losing streak. Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara, Shaedon Sharpe, and Caleb Love led the charge in the last win, but the team is still dealing with a lengthy injury list. Donovan Clingan will miss tonight’s game, but Murray and Williams are available.
