After a few days of uncertainty, we now know the Portland Trail Blazers will try to keep their season alive on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Tip-off for Game 5 is scheduled for 6 p.m. PT on TNT.

Down 3-1, the Blazers must win to extend their stay in the bubble. However, star guard Damian Lillard returned to Portland this week to undergo “further examination” of his right knee. So, they might need a miracle to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The rest of the NBA Playoff games affected on Wednesday and Thursday are now set for Saturday or Sunday.
