Rockets: Who knows? Really. Who knows?

Blazers: Dame Lillard, CJ McCollum, Norm Powell, Bob Covington, Jus Nurkic

The Portland Trailblazers need this game. The Rockets don’t need any more games this season, really. It’s just a matter of seeing if the odds fall out in their favor in the coming draft.

Portland, on the other hand, is trying to win three of their last four games to consign the Los Angeles Lakers to a Play In Tourney spot (7th) and avoid that spot themselves, especially as that game might feature the Golden State Warriors.

The Rockets are playing a different game. The game of “Who will actually play basketball?”.

This is the current injury report:

Trail Blazers: Carmelo Anthony: out (ankle), Zach Collins: out/season (is Zach Collins).

Rockets: Avery Bradley: out (personal), Kelly Olynyk:DTD (ankle), D.J. Wilson: out (Protocol), Dante Exum: out (BDE), Kevin Porter Jr.: out (ankle), David Nwaba: out (wrist surgery), Sterling Brown: out (knee + assault), Jae’Sean Tate: DTD (knee), John Wall: out (Hamstring/Shutdown), Eric Gordon: out (Groin/Shutdown), Christian Wood: out (that worrisome ankle).
