Portland Returns Home Riding Momentum

Portland enters Saturday's contest with a 5-3 overall record and a 3-2 record at home. The Fire have been playing well recently, winning four of their last five games. Portland recently won over Connecticut, recently won over New York, and recently won over Toronto before its current stretch was interrupted by a loss to Indiana. Prior to that defeat, the Fire also recently won over Connecticut. The recent results show a team that has found consistency on both ends of the floor.

The Fire are averaging 83.8 points per game while allowing 85.1 points per contest. Portland is shooting 45 percent from the field and averaging 27.9 rebounds and 18.4 assists per game. The Fire also contribute 4.4 blocks and 8.6 steals per game, giving them advantages over Indiana in both defensive categories.

One area where Portland has excelled is creating defensive pressure. The Fire average more steals and blocks than Indiana, which can help generate additional possessions and disrupt opposing offenses. That defensive activity has played a role in Portland winning four of its last five games entering this matchup.
