The team’s longest home stand of the season features six matchups and begins March 23 vs. the Toronto Raptors. Portland will then host LeBron James, Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers on March 26 for their sole visit to Rip City. The stretch also features the Milwaukee Bucks on March 27 and back-to-back games against Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets on March 30 and 31.
