Portland falling off lately. Looks like injuries are playing a big role in their downturn.
They had no centers and no PGs in their game this night against NOP. They pretty much started 5 SFs.

No D Clingan. No Rob Williams. No Yang Hansen. No Jrue Holiday. No Scoot Henderson. Scoot still hasn't played yet this season. Jrue has played in only 50% of their games. 12 of 24, well 25 now. POR are 6 wins 6 losses in the games Jrue has played versus 3 wins 10 losses in the games he has missed. Scoot also not being available has made the loss of Jrue hurt much more as it has left the team without any legit PG on the roster.
The Blazers are also without Blake Wesley who was their main backup guard in the early part of the season. He was playing very well for them. Their best defensive guard. A broken bone in his foot. So they lost their replacement backup PG (really a SG pretending to be a PG) as well as their starting PG (Jrue) and their reserve PG (Scoot).
