In the first round in the Western Conference, we will have two former Boilermakers matching up in the 3 vs 6 seed games.
Caleb Swanigan of the Portland Trailblazers has started to get more playing time, as he was used sparingly early in the season, spent some time in the G-League, and now sometimes plays close to 20 minutes a game.
E’Twuan Moore, who has started all but two games this season for the New Orleans Pelicans is having a great year. Averaging 12.5 PPG, 2 assists and 3 rebounds per game, this is his best year yet in his career.
