They have especially struggled as of late losing four games in a row and some of the competition hasn’t been all that good.
Two of those losses were against Phoenix and Pelicans’ two teams who have also been struggling. For the Trail Blazers their biggest struggle has been the way the defense has been playing. Over the last five games they are giving up 116.8 points per game.
On the season the Trail Blazers are averaging 112 points per game which isn’t a problem, but the defense is making it so the offense needs to score more.
They are facing a team that doesn’t have an elite offense so the defense is going to need to be good in this one.
New York Knicks
On the other side of this matchup is the New York Knicks who are a bad team, but they have shown some signs of life the last few weeks. Coming into this game they have won two games in a row and the biggest reason was the way the offense played.
Two games ago against the Brooklyn Nets the defense was elite giving up only 82 points and that led to a really easy victory.
Overall the defense hasn’t been great so it’s good to see the defense has been taking big strides forward. Overall this season they are giving up 111 points per game.
In this game if the Knicks offense is strong and can attack the weak defense of the Trail Blazers, they are going to have a chance to come away with a win.
