PREVIEW: The Philadelphia 76ers aim to wrap up a five-game road trip in style when they face the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. Philadelphia is 3-1 on the Western trip and has won six of its last seven overall games. The Sixers have built their recent success on efficient execution, particularly at the free-throw line where they rank fourth in the NBA at 81.5 percent, while their ball movement ranks among the league's worst, indicating a heavy reliance on isolation plays. Philadelphia currently holds a top-six playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and stands 2 1/2 games ahead of the Orlando Magic. The Trail Blazers defeated the visiting Memphis Grizzlies on back-to-back nights over the weekend to end a season-worst six-game losing streak, rolling to a 135-115 victory on Friday and following it up with a 122-115 win on Saturday. Portland's offensive approach centers on volume three-point shooting, where they rank fourth in frequency at 46.6 percent of attempts, yet they struggle with perimeter accuracy, ranking dead last in three-point efficiency league-wide. Trail Blazers All-Star Deni Avdija sat out for the ninth time in 13 games and Shaedon Sharpe missed Saturday after being injured in Friday's triumph, with Portland ruling Sharpe out for Monday's contest while listing Avdija as questionable. The teams split two meetings last season with the road club prevailing each time.
