The injury reports are, most importantly, a sign of where these teams stand entering the final week and a half of the season.
Portland has shut down superstar guard Damian Lillard for the year, starters Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic are all out. The Kings, on the other hand, are healthy, chasing a playoff berth for the first time since 2006, and they’re on the cusp of a top-three seed out West come the playoffs.
At this point, ESPN.com’s Matchup Predictor favors the road Kings 82.1 percent of the time, compared to just 17.9 percent toward the Trail Blazers.
Quite frankly, it’s easy to see why that’s the case.
With Portland shutting things down for the year, give this one to the road Kings both SU and ATS on Wednesday.
