Clippers guard Bradley Beal appeared on the team’s injury report ahead of their upcoming game against the Blazers.

Deni Avdija registered 26 points, six assists and five rebounds as one of eight Portland players scoring in double digits to help the Trail Blazers rout the visiting Golden State Warriors 139-119 on Friday night.

Deni Avdija had 26 points and six assists, and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Golden State Warriors 139-119 in Tiago Splitter's first game as interim head coach.

Portland is now 1-1 at home and for the season. The victory breaks a nine-game losing streak to the Warriors dating back to the 2022-23 season. After a difficult few days for the organization, Friday’s game was an opportunity to once again focus on basketball, something the players and coaches were eager to do.

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups apparently leaked insider info to gamblers that his team was planning to tank so they could place bets and win big, federal court documents allege. Billups was not charged in that scheme, but appears to be identified as “co-conspirator 8” in the indictment.

Last year Portland’s offense looked like Herbie the Love Bug. In this game, it was pure Fast and Furious. The Blazers attempted 90 shots, 42 threes, and 35 foul shots. The incessant barrage kept them in it even when the ‘Wolves were hot.
