About the Blazers: The Blazers started their longest homestand of the season with a 104-98 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. ... CJ McCollum had 28 points against Atlanta and has now scored in double figures in every game he's played this season. ... Damian Lillard struggled against Atlanta going 8-for-22 from the floor and finishing with 18 points, five rebounds and six assists. ... Despite the poor shooting night, Lillard remains on pace to climb the Blazers record books against the Lakers. He is two assists shy of tying Jerome Kersey for eighth on Portland's all-time list and three three-pointers shy of tying Damon Stoudamire for fourth on the franchises's all-time list. ... Meyers Leonard had 10 points and 10 rebounds off the bench against the Hawks, continuing a recent solid stretch of play for the fourth year big man. Leonard is averaging 10.3 points and 5.5 rebounds on 50.8 percent field goal shooting and 48.5 percent three-point shooting over his last 15 games. ... The Blazers outrebounded the Hawks 50-43 and have bested their opponents on the boards in 12 of the past 17 games. On the season, The Balzers are ranked fifth in the NBA, grabbing 51.0 percent of available rebounds. ... The Blazers are a game behind the Kings for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference thanks in large part to their offense which is ranked eighth in the NBA, scoring 103.4 points per 100 possessions. Portland's struggles have come on the other side of the floor where it is allowing 105.6 points per 100 possessions, good enough for the 24th ranked defense in the league. ... The Blazers have six more games in Portland during their homestand and play 11 of 13 at home leading up to the All-Star break.

About the Lakers: The Lakers have lost four straight games after losing the San Antonio Spurs 108-95 on Friday in Los Angeles. ... Rookie D'Angelo Russell led the Lakers with 18 points off the bench against the Spurs. .. Guards Lou Williams and Jordan Clarkson each had 16 points for the Lakers, who have dropped eight of nine games since a three-game winning streak from Dec. 30-Jan. 3. ... That winning steak around the New Year is the only stretch of consecutive wins the Lakers have had all season. ... The Lakers have the second worst offense in the NBA, scoring 96.9 points per 100 possessions, and the league's worst defense, allowing 108.1 points per 100 possessions. ... Kobe Bryant, who announced he is retiring at season's end in November, is set to play his final game in Portland on Saturday. ... Bryant had five points and six assists on 2-for-9 shooting in 26:34 against the Spurs. ... The 37-year old is averaging 16.3 points and shooting a career-worst 34.5 percent from the floor in his 20th season in the league. For his career, Bryant is averaging 27.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 61 games against the Blazers.
