It’s likely the Blazers will look to subtract from their roster by the trade deadline rather than add pieces that will impact winning in the short term.

The Dallas Mavericks clawed back from down double-digits to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 117-111 on Thursday night, using a 16-0 run in the final few minutes to finally take control of the game. They would have never been able to stay afloat if it wasn't for an unsuspecting hero.

The Trail Blazers sport the fifth-worst defensive rating in the NBA, and the matchup will be particularly favorable for Grimes. Portland has allowed opposing SGs to average 35.8 PRAs this season.
