Jusuf Nurkic Questionable For Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The 28-year-old went from listed as probable to questionable, so there's a decent chance he sits this game out. His absence would mean more playing time for both Trendon Watford and Drew Eubanks. Between the two, […]

Josh Hart Available For Saturday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Josh Hart (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Hart is dealing with a left ankle sprain, but feels good enough to play in this game. He should see increased chances with the ball because Jerami Grant (back) is sitting this game out. Hart is expected to be […]

Jerami Grant Won't Play On Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He is dealing with back spasms, so the Blazers have decided to take the cautious approach and rest Grant.

Drew Eubanks, Trendon Watford Available Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks (tooth) and forward/center Trendon Watford (Achilles) are both available for Friday's contest against Dallas. This should be a great matchup for Eubanks and Watford, with Dallas lacking size and very vulnerable because of it, although they likely won't be able to play a big role behind Jusuf Nurkic and […]

Josh Hart Good To Go Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) will be in the lineup Friday against Dallas. He is dealing with a left ankle sprain and the team continues to list Hart on the injury report, but he's had no issues playing through the ailment and it won't keep him off the court Friday either. Hart is […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/16/22 - Monkey Knife Fight

Friday brings a ton of potential with plenty of high-scoring matchups and a late-slate consisting of three Western Conference rivalries. With 10 games on the schedule and just the Oklahoma City-Minnesota game not listed on Monkey Knife Fight, it’s better we avoid that game for the most part anyway. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is still a safe […]

Josh Hart Is Available On Wednesday Night

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart will end up playing on Wednesday night against the San Antonio Spurs. Hart was previously listed as probable so this doesn't come as too much of a surprise.

Damian Lillard Hits 11 Three-Point Bombs Versus Minnesota

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard tied his own franchise record with 11 made three-pointers in Monday's 133-112 victory over the Timberwolves. He did it with 17 attempts, and Lillard was able to hit 13-for-21 overall from the field during a 38-point performance. Of course, sitting behind the three-point line limited his work in […]

Damian Lillard Drops 36 Points On Minnesota

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard produced a game-high 36 points in Saturday's 124-118 win over the Timberwolves, adding three rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 41 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Keon Johnson (hip) is available for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This will be the first time that Johnson has played since November 5th.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Josh Hart (ankle) is in danger of missing a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as doubtful for Saturday's clash with the Jazz.

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Drew Eubanks (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against Utah. He missed a game last week with a back issue and now Eubaks is bothered by his right hip.
