Looking to continue their success this season against the visiting Jazz, the Trail Blazers try to avoid a fourth consecutive defeat Friday night.

With its leading scorer and rebounder, LaMarcus Aldridge, in the lineup, Portland (36-18) lost by a combined eight points to Oklahoma City and the Clippers in its final two games before the All-Star break.

"It's different," said Portland guard Damian Lillard, who scored 31 points following his first All-Star appearance. "Without LA out there, that makes it tougher obviously."

Losers in seven of 10 and mired in their longest slide since dropping the final 13 games last season, the Trail Blazers don't appear too concerned with things getting out of hand considering they sit fifth in the Western Conference.

Though Portland will certainly miss Aldridge after he totaled 44 points in those contests, the backcourt of Lillard and Wesley Matthews combined for 45 on 15-of-20 shooting and hit nine 3-pointers during a 130-98 home rout of the Jazz on Dec. 6.

Lillard, who played collegiately in Utah at Weber State, has averaged 22.7 points and shot 54.8 percent in three home games against the Jazz.

Utah carried a season-high three-game winning streak into the All-Star break, but fell 105-99 to Brooklyn on Wednesday.

The Jazz hope Derrick Favors (12.9 ppg, 9.0 rpg) can return after missing that contest with a hip issue. Without their leading rebounder, the Jazz still owned a 46-33 advantage on the glass but committed 18 turnovers and were outscored 48-40 in the paint by the Nets, who shot 50 percent and overcame a 13-point, third-quarter deficit.

"We miss (Favors) a lot," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. "The guys we have in there, we've got to do a better job."

Enes Kantor had 18 points and 10 rebounds in place of Favors, but Utah is 1-22 when he starts this season.
