The Portland Trail Blazers built what appeared to be an insurmountable lead in their last game, only to see it evaporate. That seems unlikely to happen against the NBA-worst New Jersey Nets. The Trail Blazers have a chance to open a five-game road trip in strong fashionTuesday night when they face the Nets, who are on the cusp of a franchise record for home futility. Portland took a 25-point lead in the third quarter against Utah on Sunday, but wasted it and fell 93-89 in overtime. The disheartening defeat came two nights after the Trail Blazers shot a season-low 33.8 percent in a 96-76 loss to Boston.

Portland should be in ideal position to end its funk as it faces the Nets, losers of 11 of 12 overall and seven in a row in New Jersey. The home skid matches the club record set from Jan. 6-Feb. 3, 1978, for the second time this season. The Blazers, in eighth place in the Western Conference, have won three consecutive games at the Izod Center. They defeated the Nets 93-83 at the Rose Garden on Nov. 25.
