The Portland Trail Blazers fell eight places in the most recent CBS Sports power rankings from Colin Ward-Henninger. The CBS Sports power rankings look at a team’s performance over the previous week, and the Blazers have been without star point guard Damian Lillard. Ward-Henninger notes that the Blazers face an interesting set of challenges.
Portland is officially in the danger zone after falling out of play-in position with four straight losses this week. Damian Lillard may be back soon, but CJ McCollum is out indefinitely with a collapsed lung — definitely scary stuff.
