The Portland Trail Blazers have been struggling to stay afloat as this team has not lived up to their potential despite the good off-season additions. After back-to-back wins over both Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets, they lost to the LA Clippers by 23 points, 105-128. Damian Lillard continues to struggle shooting only 21% from the field but he was able to finish with 20 points, five rebounds, and four assists. CJ McCollum has been carrying the team as he tallied 25 points, four rebounds, three assists, and seven three-pointers. Not much was provided from Jusuf Nurkic who also continues to struggle.

After a bad start, the Golden State Warriors are doing better getting their rhythm together winning their past two games. Their most recent victory was by ten points against the winless Detroit Pistons. Steph Curry did 31 points, six assists, five rebounds, and five three-pointers and he got help from Andrew Wiggins on his best performance so far with 27 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and five triples. Kelly Oubre Jr. finally had a good game and he did 14 points, five boards, two steals, and a block. So much potential yet to be met by this team and going up against Chicago and Detroit made them find their winning groove.
