One positive is the return of Nikola Vucevic who returned just in time for this road trip after missing the 11 prior games due to an ankle injury.
He’s posted 20 points, 9 rebounds versus the Pelicans, 12 points and 11 rebounds against the Jazz and led the team in scoring with 20 points against the Nuggets.
DJ Augustin has been on fire during the road trip shooting 7 of 11 from the perimeter and has yet to miss a free throw (18 for 18). Augustin scored 18 versus the Nuggets joining Evan Fournier (13) and Markelle Fultz (11) as the other double-figure contributors.
Evan Fournier leads the Magic in scoring with 19.8 points and field goal percentage (47.9%). DJ Augustine tops assists with 4.8, Jonathan Isaac tops the leaderboard for rebounds (7.1), and blocks (2.6) and Markelle Fultz leads in steals (1.2).
Jonathan Isaac had to leave the last game with hamstring tightness and is also suffering from lower back tightness but is expected to play Friday.
Al-Farouq Aminu is out indefinitely having sustained a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Portland Trail Blazers
The roller coaster ride for the Blazers continues as they followed a 1-3 four-game segment with a 3-1 performance in their last four games.
Granted those three wins are courtesy of the Knicks, Warriors, and Suns so other than Phoenix they were simply winning the games they should be.
In the win over the Warriors, Hassan Whiteside delivered a massive double-double of 16 points and 23 rebounds. Four other Blazers collected double-figure performances including Damian Lillard (31), CJ McCollum (30), Carmelo Anthony (17), and Skal Labissiere (10).
Two starters lead all the stat categories and not surprisingly Damian Lillard tops the scoring (26.5 points), assists (7.6) and steals (1.0). The other three categories are led by Hassan Whiteside including rebounds (12.9), field goal percentage (61.9%), and blocks (2.4).
Mario Henzonja (back) missed the last game but is probable for Friday. Nassir Little is questionable for Friday after missing the last three games with back spasms.
Rodney Hood (Achilles) will miss the remainder of the season. Jusuf Nurkic (leg) remains out until February and Zach Collins (shoulder) won’t return until March.
NBA Betting Trends:
- The Blazers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10
- The Magic are 5-4-1 in last 10 head to head
- Over Under is 4-5-1 in team’s last 10 head to head matchups.
