The NBA season is young. But just three games in, and the Portland Trail Blazers have already utilized a plethora of lineups to end games. Finding the right combination will likely be a work in progress throughout much of the year, and we very well may see some groups we wouldn’t have imagined this summer.
Of course, Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum will be a part of every closing lineup. This is for good reason. They are the team’s best players, after all. Even if both could be better defensively, they are electric offensively and have a reputation of coming up big when it matters.
