The Trail Blazers continue their road trip tonight with a stop in New Orleans. Portland is off to a bad start (losing the first four on this trip). To make matters worse, injuries to their back court have Damian Lillard (plantar fasciitis) and CJ McCollum (ankle sprain) sidelined. This set back has forced the Blazers to look for other scoring options to help. Fortunately for Portland, they are 2-0 against the Pelicans so far.
Current Form
The Trail Blazers (11-19) are currently sitting in last place in the Northwest Division. Their record also has them ranked 13th in the Western Conference.
