Portland will be without starters Anfernee Simons (foot) and Jerami Grant (quad) when they face the Jazz. The Trail Blazers are 2-2 since the All-Star break when Lillard scores at least 41 points, and 1-6 when he falls below the mark. The former Weber State superstar is averaging 35.5 points, 7.2 assists, and 6.5 rebounds over his last 12 outings. Portland is just 3-10 since returning from the All-Star break despite a tremendous run from guard Damian Lillard. Trail Blazers Have Lost Six Straightĭespite entering the second half of the season with an eye on the playoffs, the Trail Blazers ook bound for another high lottery pick. The Jazz will still be without Jordan Clarkson who is missing his seventh consecutive game with a finger injury while Collin Sexton is missing his 12th straight game with a hamstring injury. Reserve guard and former Trail Blazer Kris Dunn also had his best game in a Jazz uniform scoring 18 points and dishing out 10 assists in 31 minutes of the bench. The lottery odds are dwindling, but Ochai Agbaji and Walker Kessler should put your tanking anxiety at ease. Rookie Ochai Agbaji stepped up in Markkanen’s absence scoring a career-high 27 points on 8-14 shooting including 6-10 from the three-point line. The Jazz will see All-Star Lauri Markkanen return to the lineup on Wednesday after the forward missed Monday’s game with a sore back. The Trail Blazers meanwhile own the league’s longest losing streak at six games. The Jazz have dug out surprising wins in their last two outings beating the Boston Celtics on Saturday before downing the Sacramento Kings on Monday. Nurkic was the leading scorer for the Trailblazers in the first.
