Portland Trail Blazers (6-4) At Golden State Warriors (4-6), 10:30 P.m.

(Sports Network) - The Portland Trail Blazers conclude a five-game road trip Tuesday by traveling to Oakland to face the Golden State Warriors.

The Blazers improved to 3-1 on the trek Saturday when Brandon Roy led the way with 24 points, and Portland overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves, 88-83, at Target Center.

Greg Oden added a career-high 13 points, eight rebounds and three blocked shots for the Blazers, who have won five of six.

Steve Blake added 10 points, while Joel Przybilla also had 10 points and eight rebounds in the win.

In his first career start, undrafted rookie Anthony Morrow tallied 37 points, an NBA record for an undrafted player in his rookie season, and 11 rebounds to lead Golden State to a 121-103 victory over the hapless Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center.

Morrow, who didn't appear in the team's first six games and played a total of 40 minutes in the last three, hadn't scored more than eight points in any game this season. He logged just under 42 minutes Saturday and shot 15-of-20 from the field.

"I was going to go to Ukraine (to play basketball)," Morrow said of being undrafted. "But Golden State gave me a chance. I didn't know I was going to start until this morning. I caught fire today. My teammates have been so supportive of me. I never lost my faith."

Stephen Jackson scored 20 points and dished out 10 assists for the Warriors, who have won two of three.

Andris Biedrins recorded a double-double with 17 points and 16 rebounds, while Corey Maggette added 17 points in his first game against the Clippers since departing the organization in the offseason.

ORACLE Arena has been a house of horrors recently for the Blazers. Portland has dropped six straight games in Oakland by an average of 14 points.
