POR will take on Utah Jazz in NBA 2021-22 on Thursday, 30 December 2021 at 08:30 AM IST
Damian Lillard has had some 30+ points nights this month and he has been at his scoring best during December all season long.
Despite his recent surge, without McCollum, the Trail Blazers offense has lost its steam way too many times.
On the other hand, the Portland defense has been lackadaisical all season long and that is why the team has kept losing games since the beginning of the season.
There is a talented frontline of Little, Nance, and Powell, with Powell being a scoring threat but some players like Anfernee Simons haven’t performed as expected which has hurt the team’s already fragile balance with Nurkic and Covington placed in the protocols.
Jazz has fared in a scintillating manner after being the best team record-wise last season. This team is built to win.
Even with 25+ PPG scorer Donovan Mitchell out, the team has three highly talented guards in Conley, Ingles, and the high-scoring Clarkson.
Meanwhile, Rudy Gobert is a disruptive defensive, offensive, and rebounding presence on both ends.
Bojan Bogdanovic can score in bunches while Royce O’Neale is a premier defense and hustle player.
Off the bench, Rudy Gay and Hasan Whiteside complement both the first and second unit very well.
Utah can cope with injuries to ace players unlike Portland, they have experienced, a solid foundation, and are capable of lodging mass wins.
