New Orleans at Portland

It is crunch time for Portland, but unfortunately for a team that needs to string together some wins, they will have to do so without Damien Lillard for the next three to four weeks. The injury list for this team has now reached six. New Orleans closed the first half on a 6-3 run, and Zion Williamson is paying immediate dividends by going for 30+ in the last two. A healthy Williamson will give the Pelicans a shot to make a run for the playoffs as this team is much better with him getting full minutes. There are just too many injuries in Portland right now. Play New Orleans for a Max Play.
