Tre Johnson led the team with 26 points with six assists, Alex Sarr added 24 points on 11 of 19 shooting while Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie each scored 15 points.

Portland Trail Blazers vs Washington Wizards Prediction
The Trail Blazers are still missing Deni Avdija, Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray to name a few, while the Wizards have ruled out Trae Young and Tristan Vutkcevic with Khris Middleton and Bilal Coulibaly both listed as questionable.
The Trail Blazers are playing their second game of a back to back set, which isn’t ideal, but they’ve quietly been one of the form teams in the league. They couldn’t have asked for a softer opponent to play on zero days rest. The line is reasonable for this one, so I will stick with the reliable Trail Blazers to bounce back with a solid win and cover on the road.
