January 30

Clippers vs Trail Blazers (TNT)

The Trail Blazers have made very little noise in the offseason and seem to be content with the lineup they have. With a big 3 of Lillard, Mccollum and Nurkic the Blazers are dangerous offensively. Defense is where they will struggle. With Harkless or Aminu likely playing power forward, they likely don’t have an answer for Blake Griffin. As long as the Clippers contain Portland’s dangerous backcourt, the Clippers should wrap up January with a win.
