With under ten games left in the regular season, and the Western Conference representatives in the 2019 NBA Playoffs almost set (the Kings have a tragic number of three), it’s time to turn attention towards the postseason. The Portland Trail Blazers have been one of the better and more consistent teams in the conference this season, but have been devastated by injuries over the past couple weeks, first losing CJ McCollum to an ankle injury, and then Jusuf Nurkic to a horrific foot fracture. Still, even without Nurkic and with the potential of a less-than-healthy McCollum, the Blazers are dangerous due to the flamethrowing abilities of Damian Lillard.
