When the Portland Trailblazers face off against the [Los](http://www.sportsticketbank.com/nba-basketball/portland-trail-blazers-vs-los-angeles-lakers-tickets/in-portland/moda-center-at-the-rose-quarter-formerly-rose-garden/november-28-2015?_ga=1.173208739.1831664662.1442357177) [Angeles Lakers on Thanksgiving weekend](http://www.sportsticketbank.com/nba-basketball/portland-trail-blazers-vs-los-angeles-lakers-tickets/in-portland/moda-center-at-the-rose-quarter-formerly-rose-garden/november-28-2015?_ga=1.173208739.1831664662.1442357177), they'll be writing the next chapter in one of the NBA's oldest rivalries, says a writer for online ticket reseller SportsTicketBank.com. The combination of the ongoing rivalry and the high-traffic holiday weekend is sending ticket sales spiraling, but there are still Trailblazers tickets available on third-party ticket sites.
Thanksgiving weekend is the biggest sports weekend of the year. This is just as true for basketball as it is for football and for Portland Trail Blazers fans, the NBA game is the only game in town. Tickets for the Lakers-Trail Blazers game sold out months ago, so the only sources for the best NBA tickets are third party and reseller sites like SportsTicketBank.com. The Portland-LA matchup is particularly hot, partly because the two franchises have such a long and storied history. Since 1977, the Trailblazers have faced the Lakers in more than 205 regular season games and more than 45 playoff games. In addition, the two teams have met in the Western Conference Finals three times, sparking an intense on-field rivalry that matches some of the hottest NBA rivalries of all time.
This is a key year for the Portland Trail Blazers. The team rebounded from a mediocre 2012 season to clean up the court during the 2013-2014 season and score their first playoff series victory since 2000. The Trail Blazers held onto that rebound to capture the team's first Northwest division title, earning them even more love from the team's already fanatic fans.
The Thanksgiving weekend matchup between the Trailblazers and the Lakers will be played at the Moda Center in Portland, giving the Blazers the home team advantage. The stadium has a seating capacity of nearly 20,000, but fans that don't have their NBA basketball tickets for the game are competing for a much smaller pool of tickets. SportsTicketBank.com lists fewer than 500 available tickets, many of them listed as single-ticket only. While many of the available [Trailblazers tickets](http://www.sportsticketbank.com/nba-basketball/portland-trail-blazers-vs-los-angeles-lakers-tickets/in-portland/moda-center-at-the-rose-quarter-formerly-rose-garden/november-28-2015?_ga=1.173208739.1831664662.1442357177) are for nosebleed seats, there are also seats available in some of the most prized sections of the stadium, including several pairs of courtside seats in the second and third rows.
Great seats like those tend to sell fast," says a representative for the ticket reseller. So fans who want to celebrate Thanksgiving weekend by rooting for the Trailblazers should grab those tickets while they're still available."
