The Portland Trail Blazers host Wesley Matthews and the Dallas Mavericks at 7:30 Friday night at the Moda Center.

The game is airing on ESPN and KGW in the Portland area. 

Both teams are playing some of their best basketball of the season heading into the matchup. 

The Blazers (22-28) have won four of their last five games, fueled by a change to the starting lineup. Since Evan Turner and Noah Vonleh replaced Moe Harkless and Al-Farouq Aminu six games ago, the Blazers have gone 4-2 and logged impressive victories over the Memphis Grizzlies and Boston Celtics.

The Mavericks (19-30), meanwhile, have won a season-high tying three in a row and eight of their last 11 overall.
