What happened: Portland has set its first five for Sunday's scheduled road game in Seattle. The matchup remains ahead, with no result determined.

Why it matters: The game continues a Pacific Northwest season series split through two meetings. Both clubs enter below .500 and need traction in the regular-season standings.

By the numbers: Portland is 8-14 and Seattle is 6-17. Portland averages 84.0 points while allowing 91.9; Seattle scores 80.7 and allows 85.8. The teams split their first two meetings, with Seattle taking the first by 10 and Portland the second by five.

What to watch: Watch for the opening unit's early rotation and whether Portland can halt its three-game skid.
