8. Portland Trail Blazers
Led by Damian Lillard, the Portland Trail Blazers have once again found themselves in the middle of the pack. Portland has consistently been a competitive team in the Western Conference and this season is no different.
Lillard continues to be one of the most underrated players in the league by scoring 26.3 points per game on 45 percent shooting from the floor. His heroics have helped capture multiple wins for the Blazers and his performances have been nothing short of spectacular.
Always alongside Lillard is his backcourt running mate, C.J. McCollum who is chipping in with 21 points per game of his own.
While it is fun to watch these two stars compete together, it feels like we are reaching the end of the line for this duo. It is clear that they won’t be capable of winning a title together, which means one of these players will likely be joining a new team at some point.
For now, we will see the Blazers try running it back in the NBA Playoffs and giving their opponent a run for their money.
