PORTLAND, Oregon (Ticker) -- The Portland Trail Blazers look to get back on track Monday following a dismal offensive showing when they host the Sacramento Kings.
Portland had been red-hot, winning consecutive games by more than 15 points heading into Saturday's showdown with the Phoenix Suns. However, the Suns held the Blazers to season lows of 36 first-half points and 38 percent from the floor (35-of-90) in a 102-92 loss.
Brandon Roy scored 26 points for Portland, which had just three players in double figures. Rookie Greg Oden was limited to five points and one rebound in 14 minutes.
Roy and the Blazers may get back to their high-scoring ways against Sacramento, which is coming off a 118-108 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday. The Kings are allowing 104.9 points per game - the second-worst mark in the league.
Sacramento, which has lost five of six, played an eighth straight game without leading scorer Kevin Martin (ankle).
