If the New Orleans Pelicans are going to even the race for the Western Conference's final playoff spot, they're going to have to do it in an arena that's home to their longest active road losing streak. Saturday night's visit to Portland gives them an opportunity to halt that skid against the Trail Blazers at seven while also matching Oklahoma City in the standings. New Orleans (41-34) put itself in position to do so with Friday's 101-95 win in Sacramento, moving within a half game of the Thunder and clinching its first season with at least a .500 record since going 46-36 in 2010-11. They can also win three straight on the road for the first time this season, but they haven't won in Portland since Nov. 26, 2010.
