Where: Rose Garden.

On the air: TV: Prime Ticket; Radio: 980.

Record: Clippers 4-2; Trail Blazers 6-2.

Update: Portland gave Dallas its toughest test in last spring’s playoffs. The Trail Blazers kept most of their core players together and are 5-0 at home this season. They replaced Brandon Roy, who retired, by signing free-agent guard Jamal Crawford; he is averaging 12.8 points off the bench. Power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who has never been an All-Star, is playing like one and leads the team in scoring with 22.6 a game.
