They are 3-7 over their last ten games and in the middle of a three-game losing streak.   

Most recently, the Trail Blazers lost to the Dallas Mavericks by a score of 125-112 (at home) on Friday. 

Ayton is in his first season with the Trail Blazers after getting traded (via the Phoenix Suns) over the offseason. 

Following the Clippers, the Trail Blazers will play their next game on Thursday evening when they host the Utah Jazz in Oregon. 

As for the Clippers, they are 11-10 in their first 21 games, which has them as the ninth seed in the Western Conference.
