The Portland Trail Blazers ( 35 - 17 ) defeated the Houston Rockets ( 35 - 16 ) 109 - 98 on Sunday . After voicing his displeasure regarding being looked over for an All-Star spot , Damian Lillard was the beneficiary of the Clippers ' Blake Griffin having to undergo surgery for a staph infection , and Lillard will now be headed to the All-Star Game in Griffin 's stead . Lillard celebrated with an efficient 23 points on 6 - of - 10 shooting from the field and 10 - of - 11 from the line . He struggled with his shot over the last couple weeks , so it 's possible the announcement that he 'll be an All-Star could have relaxed Lillard . Meyers Leonard put up a nice game off the bench , scoring 12 points and pulling down six rebounds in just 15 minutes , while showing off his range on 2 - of - 4 three - point attempts . The win helped the Trail Blazers secure a third victory in their last four games , with their lone loss coming to the Mavericks on Saturday . Portland lost five of their final six games at the end of January , but their recent play has assuaged most concerns about that rough stretch . James Harden is like the Katniss Everdeen of the NBA ; he 's on fire . On Sunday , he scored a game - high 45 points for his fifth 40 - point game of the season . He got some help from Josh Smith , with Smith hitting a career - high four three - pointers for the third time in the last six games , showing off what may be an improved jumper thanks to the Rockets ' coaching . Donatas Motiejunas was the only other Rockets player to finish with double - digit points as the team shot a poor 38 percent from the field and 68 percent from the free - throw line . Despite the loss , the Rockets have won six of the eight games they 've played since Dwight Howard went down with his most recent knee injury , proving that they can continue to win even without Howard . They 'll play the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday . The Trail Blazers will return home to host the Lakers on Wednesday .
