CLIPPERS TONIGHT

at Portland, 7

Site -- The Rose Garden.

Radio -- XTRA (690/1150).

Records -- Clippers 27-44, Trail Blazers 35-35.

Record vs. Trail Blazers -- 2-1.

Update -- Quentin Richardson, who returned to the lineup Monday but missed 10 of 11 shots in a 102-80 loss to the Denver Nuggets, is questionable because of a back injury, as is Corey Maggette, because of left knee soreness. The Clippers, who have lost 12 of 14 overall and are 5-15 since the All-Star break, are 3-20 on the road against teams with .500 records or better, including a 101-86 loss last month at Portland, where they’ve lost nine in a row since April 11, 1999.
