Portland Trail Blazers vs New Orleans Pelicans Preview

Together on the second leg of a back-to-back, the Portland Trail Blazers and New Orleans Pelicans will face off at Smoothie King Center on Wednesday night. This is their first meeting in 2020-21 after the Pelicans swept last season’s four-game series. More recently, New Orleans humiliated the Grizzlies 144-113 at FedExForum to mark its highest score since October 19, 2018. That result moved the Pelicans to 4-1 from their last five in conference play and saw Zion Williamson (31 points) put together another highly efficient scoring display. Steven Adams exited Tuesday’s game in the third quarter due to lower back pain and never returned, placing him in some level of doubt for this contest. Meanwhile, Portland notched its fifth straight win by downing Oklahoma City 115-104 behind Damian Lillard’s 31-point, 10-assist double-double.
