The Nets will try to get back on track as their road trip moves on to Portland for the first of a Pacific Northwest back-to-back. Vince Carter is questionable with his bruised back. The Blazers are wrapping up an eight-game homestand in which they've won four of seven so far. In spite of their recent troubles, particularly on the road, the Nets are leading the Atlantic Division and remain only two games behind the Heat for the second best record in the East.
