|
| | | TORONTO: LAST SEASON: 58-24, won NBA Finals.
COACH: Nick Nurse (second season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Kyle Lowry (14.2 ppg, 8.7 apg), G Norman Powell (8.6 ppg), F OG Anunoby (7.0 ppg), F Pascal Siakam (16.9 ppg), C Marc Gasol (15.7 ppg, 8.6 rpg).
KEY LOSSES: F Kawhi Leonard, G Danny Green
KEY ADDITIONS: F Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, F Stanley Johnson, G Matt Thomas
PLAYERS TO WATCH: A runaway winner of the NBA's Most Improved Player Award last season, Siakam doesn't look likely to rest on his laurels. Nurse said he's seen more maturity and calmness in Siakam this fall, something new for a player whose game was previously all about speed and energy. Thomas has never played in the NBA, but the former Iowa State star shot 48.1% (116 for 241) from 3-point range in helping Spain's Valencia Basket capture the 2019 EuroCup title.
OUTLOOK: The defending champions lost their best player when Leonard left for the Clippers, and took another hit when Green signed with the Lakers. While those departures may have dimmed Toronto's hopes of repeating, the Raptors aren't lottery-bound either. Lowry has made five straight All-Star teams, Gasol is a defensive force in the paint, and there's talent on the bench in guard Fred VanVleet and big man Serge Ibaka. Expect the Raptors to earn a top-four seed in a balanced Eastern Conference.Because of this important information, no power rating or computer score edges are posted for this game. | | PORTLAND: LAST SEASON: 53-29, lost 4-0 to Golden State in the Western Conference finals.
COACH: Terry Stotts (eighth season with Trail Blazers, 325-249; 12th season overall, 440-417).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Damian Lillard (25.8 ppg), G CJ McCollum (21.0), F Rodney Hood (11.2), F Zach Collins (8.6), C Hassan Whiteside (12.3 with Miami).
KEY LOSSES: F Al-Farouq Aminu, F Evan Turner, F Maurice Harkless, C Meyers Leonard.
KEY ADDITIONS: Whiteside, C Pau Gasol, F Anthony Tolliver, G Kent Bazemore.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The Blazers will count on Whiteside at center while Jusuf Nurkic recovers from a broken leg he suffered during a game in March. Nurkic probably won't return until January, at the earliest. The Blazers added some insurance at the position by signing Pau Gasol, who is also making his way back from surgery. Portland will look to Zach Collins to take the next step in his third season in the league. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum form one of the best backcourt duos in the league.
OUTLOOK: In the loaded Western Conference, the revamped Trail Blazers, with a total of seven new players, will have to come together sooner rather than later. A key will be how Whiteside gels with the rest of the team. The 7-footer was acquired in a trade with the Miami, where his production fell off last season after three strong seasons. The Blazers will again emphasize defensive improvement going into the season, something Stotts has routinely preached each fall camp. Lillard signed a supermax extension in the offseason, and appears to be a Blazer for the long haul. Expectations are high for Portland after making the Western Conference finals last season, and players say they're not going to be satisfied with simply making the playoffs, the goal now is to go deep into the postseason. |
| | Blazers try to get right vs. banged-up Raptors
After dropping a game at Sacramento on Tuesday night, the Portland Trail Blazers enter their matchup with Toronto on Wednesday night losers of five of their last six games. The defending champion Raptors, coming off a 10-point loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday, will enter Portland looking to improve to 3-1 on their current five-game road trip. Toronto is dealing with a rash of injuries on this road jaunt, the most recent a right eye contusion for OG Anunoby. Former Raptors star Kawhi Leonard poked Anunoby in the eye in the first quarter Monday, and the young swingman didn't return to the game. Anunoby has been ruled out for Wednesday. Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) is out for at least two weeks, and forward Serge Ibaka (ankle) is out indefinitely. "I think we are showing those guys who weren't playing can help us," Toronto guard Fred VanVleet told reporters after the Clippers game. "Now it's harder when your role is diminished and it's eight minutes instead of 25 or 18, instead of 25 and you are playing in crunch time. "It's easier with more minutes and more opportunity and knowing that you are not coming out because we only got so many guys. But we knew we were a tough bunch and we were going to fight hard and our defense is really good. We know we got to fix some things on offense, but it's a long year, so it was a good back-to-back (with a split against the L.A. teams). We move on and try and get one in Portland." The Blazers are no stranger to the injury bug, with Jusuf Nurkic (leg), Pau Gasol (foot) and Zach Collins (shoulder) expected to be out on Wednesday. The status of Rodney Hood was uncertain after he sat out a second straight game Tuesday due to back spasms. It's been a strong season for Damian Lillard, who scored a team-high 27 in the 107-99 loss to the Kings, two games after posting a career-high 60 on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. Other than Lillard, however, the Blazers have been hard-pressed to find a consistent scoring punch. CJ McCollum's shooting percentage has dipped significantly from last season, and Hassan Whiteside has been up and down in the box score. In Lowry's absence, the Raptors will rely heavily on Pascal Siakam going forward. The young big man from Cameroon is having a breakout season for Toronto, averaging 26.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game to go along with 3.9 assists. He put up 44 points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday. VanVleet and Norman Powell, along with Marc Gasol, will be relied upon at a greater rate, as well, as the Raptors nurse myriad injuries. In the aftermath of the loss to the Clippers, coach Nick Nurse was clearly frustrated with the no-call on the play that injured Anunoby's eye. "He lost both his contacts and got his eye cut open with blood," Nurse told reporters. "Are you kidding me?" --Field Level Media |
