What the DeMarcus Cousins injury means for the Blazers

As expected, the Western Conference playoff race is heating up.

Of course, the Golden State Warriors, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs top the list by a significant margin. Right behind the Spurs, though, is the new-look Minnesota Timberwolves, who are 32-20 on the season.

Riding a seven-game win streak, the Oklahoma City Thunder trail the T-Wolves by just 1.5 games for 4th.

Between OKC at No. 5 and the LA Clippers at No. 9 is just 4.5 games of separation. In the mix is the New Orleans Pelicans, Denver Nuggets, and your Portland Trail Blazers.
