The Portland Trail Blazers’ 7:00 matchup with the Detroit Pistons tonight may be postponed due to weather conditions, according Rod Beard of The Detroit News. The league is monitoring the snowfall and icy roadways and will make a decision as needed.
I'm told that the NBA is monitoring the weather situation in Portland, with snow expected. #Pistons game could be postponed.
