The Trail Blazers from Portland will meet the Bobcats from Charlotte on Saturday night in an NBA game Live Streaming Online Free from the Time Warner Cable Arena at 7:00 PM ET

With LaMarcus Aldridge likely to be a game-time decision, the Blazers seek their third straight victory as the Bobcats try for their ninth win in 10 home games Saturday night.

Portland (45-24) was on its way to a season-high fourth straight loss when Aldridge suffered a lower back contusion at San Antonio on March 12.

Since averaging 100.0 points and shooting 41.4 percent during that skid, the Blazers have scored 114.8 per game on 45.9 percent shooting while going 3-1 without the All-Star big man.

Damion Lillard has played a key role with 25.2 points per game despite shooting 29.2 percent from 3-point range in his last six.

Aldridge, averaging team highs of 23.4 points and 11.1 rebounds, is uncertain for the rematch as Portland embarks on a five-game trip. Nicolas Batum also has played well in his absence, averaging 19.5 points and 13.8 rebounds in the four games.

The Blazers trail fourth-place Houston by a 1 1/2 games for home-court advantage in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

The Bobcats, meanwhile, are trying to hold off surging Atlanta for seventh place in the East as they look to avoid a third consecutive defeat.

After its eight-game home winning streak ended in a 97-83 loss to the Hawks on Monday, Charlotte dropped its second straight Wednesday, falling 104-99 at Brooklyn.

The Bobcats had averaged 105.0 points -- 9.3 above their season average -- and shot 48.0 percent in their previous four home games before making only 35.3 percent against Atlanta. It was their worst shooting performance since posting a season-low 31.3 mark in a 99-74 loss to Indiana on Nov. 27.

Al Jefferson has been a bright spot, ranking among the league's top 10 with 24.8 points per game this month.
