Gary Harris still has not been clarified whether he will play or not in Portland. If he does, the key match up will be him vs. C.J. McCollum.
Without Damian Lillard, C.J. McCollum will be called on to get the bulk of Portland’s points. As a result, Gary Harris will have to be ready to showcase his defensive prowess as McCollum is having a career year so far.
C.J. is currently averaging a career high 21 points per game on 45% shooting. On the other hand, Harris is one of the few guards in the league right now averaging nearly two steals per game.
