Watch Portland Trail Blazers @ Toronto Raptors: Preview, Food & Drink Specials

The Blazers have had a tough road-trip thus far having gone 1-3, but tonight is what a “must-win” in the NBA is all about. Other than playing away and having traveled from Atlanta to Toronto, there is no discernable reason why the Blazers should lose this game.

Nicolas Batum, playing some of the best basketball of his career on this trip, will be back in the lineup tonight after an eye-poke that sent him to the hospital on Wednesday. Marcus Camby is back after missing the last three games due to an ankle sprain. Lastly, the Raptors were one of the worst teams in the East before star-player Andrea Bargnani went out with a calf-injury. He’s a longshot to play tonight as well. The Raptors have lost six straight games ans tonight should be their 7th.

The game starts at 4PM  (happy hour time!) on Comcast Sports Network. If you do not have television or want a good Portland establishment to enjoy the game with friends, here are several suggestions from our sponsors.
