NOP will lock horns against POR in NBA 2021-22 on Wednesday, 22 December 2021 at 06:30 AM IST
New Orleans has a superb combination of Ingram and Valanciunas in the frontline. These two players can wreak havoc through their size.
Both are well-adept at scoring, rebounding while Ingram can be used as a playmaker too. Recently, Devonte Graham has become a dependable option late in the game while Josh Hart has had a riveting all-around season.
Off the bench, except Nickeil Alexander-Walker, there is no substantial scoring option although a dependable rebounder in Willy Hernangomez. Pelicans may not be deep but they have certainly kept the fight going.
Lillard averaged 22 or so for most of the season but in the last two games, finally breached the 30 points and 40 points barrier.
It is not surprising he scored that much but what is more surprising is that it happened 30 games into the season.
With CJ out, Norman Powell has lodged 20+ points games while Nurkic is up-and-down offensively but can still lodge decent numbers.
Robert Covington, Larry Nance, and Nasir Little have given some hope to the frontline but the guard position is highly vulnerable except Lillard and the Trail Blazers have played a three-Forward, one Center, and a PG lineup for most parts recently.
