The second game of TNT’s preseason NBA doubleheader is also a playoff rematch, with the Portland Trail Blazers visiting the L.A. Clippers at 10:30 p.m. Eastern. Portland won the first round playoff series in six games, with guards Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum leading the way against a team that lost both Chris Paul and Blake Griffin to injuries during the series. Many of the same key players are back for each team, with Portland also adding Evan Turner via free agency.
