This and that: The Blazers are riding a four-game losing streak, which included three defeats during an East Coast trip through Boston, Washington D.C. and New York. … The trip ended with Portland’s most lopsided loss of the season, 127-97, to the New York Knicks on Friday night. … Toumani Camara was held scoreless for the first time this season — and just the ninth time in 197 career games — during the loss, which gave the Blazers a 9-6 record in January. … Deni Avdija also had a rough night versus the Knicks, making just 4 of 14 shots, including 1 of 6 threes, on the way to a season-low 11 points. He finished with more turnovers (four) than assists (three). … This is the opener of a five-game homestand for the Blazers, who will host the Knicks, Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies (twice) and Philadelphia 76ers over the next nine days. Portland is 13-11 at home. … The Cavaliers have won seven of their last nine games, but had a five-game winning streak snapped Friday night during a 126-113 loss at the Suns. … Donovan Mitchell recorded 16 points and six assists, but coughed up eight turnovers, part of a 22-turnover night for Cleveland. … The Cavaliers rank fifth in the NBA in three-pointers made (14.7 per game) and fourth in three-pointers attempted (41.3). … Cleveland has used 25 different starting lineups in 50 games because of injuries. … This is the second and final meeting between Portland and Cleveland this season. … The Blazers defeated the Cavaliers 122-110 in December in Cleveland, as Avdija recorded 27 points, eight rebounds and seven assists and Portland limited the Cavaliers to 25% three-point shooting.
