After a painful loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Portland Trail Blazers return home to the Moda Center to face the New Orleans Pelicans. The Pelicans are currently 12th in the Western Conference with a 9-14 record against a 9-14 record against in-conference opponents, but the loss to the Timberwolves illustrates that the Blazers cannot get complacent. On the bright side, CJ McCollum is slated to return to the lineup, and Damian Lillard is second in the league for scoring with 29.9 points per game.
