The Portland Trail Blazers’ schedule for the second half of the NBA has been released, and the Blazers will resume play after the All-Star break in a match-up against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday, March 11th at the Moda Center. From there, the team will travel to Minneapolis to face the Timberwolves two games in a row. They then return to the Moda Center for a five-game homestand consisting of two games versus the New Orleans Pelicans, two games against the Dallas Mavericks, and a single game facing the Brooklyn Nets. Six of their first eight games are played at home, which is in the Blazers’ favor.

After that, the Blazers have a four-game road swing on the East Coast, traveling to play the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic, Toronto Raptors, and Detroit Pistons. However, that is not their longest road trip: that will come later in the season, following a couple of smaller trips, when they go on the road for six games in a row. Four games will be nationally televised on TNT.
The team will spend their last four of six games at home prior to the playoffs, with five of those games being against probable playoff teams. The play-in tournament for the seventh through tenth seeds will be contested May 18th-21st.
The NBA says its Play-In Tournament for the Nos. 7-10 seeds in each conference will take place May 18-21 and that the 2021 playoffs will begin May 22
