Free New York Knicks vs. Portland Trail Blazers NBA Prediction:
Recent trends show the Knicks have struggled straight up against the Trail Blazers dating back 10 years. However, this year’s Knicks has people wondering, genuinely, for the first time in a while if they might be real contenders.
Portland, on the other hand, has folks wondering if the team has slipped into an accidental tank job, as the Trail Blazers enter Tuesday as the No. 13 team out West and with two of its top starters—including Damian Lillard—questionable.
If Lillard plays, that changes the thinking a bit. He’s proved he can win games on his own this season, and he’s also been as consistent as it comes despite his elite level of play.
Then again, the Blazers haven’t done much to help him out even when he’s healthy.
Keep an eye on Lillard’s status ahead of this one, but don’t be shocked if the Knicks walk away victorious either way.
