Coming off a three game road trip and a back-to-back, the Portland Trail Blazers will take on the 4-16 Detroit Pistons in what will turn into a heavy slate of home games over the next 31 days.
The news of the night actually isn’t that Portland went 0-3 on another road trip: instead it’s that Damian Lillard will sit out tonight’s game (injury management - abdominal) after back-to-back subpar performances while Norman Powell will miss his third consecutive game with a right leg contusion and wing Nassir Little will miss his first game of the season after picking up a sprained ankle in Utah last night in the loss to the Utah Jazz.
