The main concern for the Blazers is how to limit Anthony Davis, who has been on a tear of late. If Jusuf Nurkic can utilize some physicality on Davis and get the Pelicans off their game plan, the Blazers should be able to be successful.
If the Pelicans want to win the series, they'll need help around Davis. The last time the Blazers and Pelicans battled, Davis logged 36 points with 14 boards and six blocks. Jrue Holiday and Rajon Rondo both have the ability to be defensive disrupters, which could play into New Orleans' favor.
