Having just played yesterday, the Portland Trail Blazers will head out on the road to face off against the Dallas Mavericks at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday at American Airlines Center. The two teams worked hard to overcome the odds in their previous battles and are surely both feeling confident heading into this clash.

This game was originally supposed to be at 8:30 ET/7:30 CT, but due to inclement weather getting ready to hit the Dallas area, the NBA has moved the game up to 7:30 ET/6:30 CT. Temperatures will reach freezing levels throughout the weekend, but the rain and snow expected had the NBA worried about team and fan safety.

A couple of Western Conference hopefuls right on top of each other in the standings meet up on Tuesday, Jan. 7 when the Dallas Mavericks host the Los Angeles Lakers at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
