At .278, the Blazers come out of the break with the second-worst winning percentage in the Western Conference, ranking ahead of only the San Antonio Spurs (11-44, .200).

Two Eastern Conference teams — the Detroit Pistons (8-46, .148) and Washington Wizards (9-45, .167) — were even worse, with a third, the 13-41 Charlotte Hornets (.241), also owning a lower winning percentage than Portland.

It’s been an offensive struggle in particular for coach Chauncey Billups’ team, which ranks ahead of only the Memphis Grizzlies in scoring (107.9 points per game) and offensive rating (108.5) while shooting a league-low 44 percent from the field.

Portland also has had issues on the glass, posting the league’s sixth-worst rebounding differential at minus-3.1 per game and is averaging 14.1 turnovers per outing — fifth most in the league.

Looking ahead, the Blazers have 28 games remaining, beginning with Friday night’s home date with the defending-champion Denver Nuggets.

Fifteen of Portland’s remaining games are at home, where it’s 9-17 (.346) this season.

That, then, leaves 13 on the road, where the Blazers are 6-22 (.214). The bulk of those away dates fall during a seven-game road trip that starts March 25 and runs through April 7.

Portland has four stretches of back-to-back games remaining, including consecutive contests in Memphis on March 1-2.

Breaking Portland’s remaining schedule down even further, the Blazers play 11 of their 28 games against teams owning the 10 best winning percentages as of the All-Star break. The good news is that eight of those 11 will be played at home.

On the flip side, Portland also has 11 games left against the league’s bottom 10 teams, with five at home and six on the road.

The Blazers have their home-and-home dates remaining against the NBA-leading Boston Celtics (44-12) and visit the West-leading Minnesota Timberwolves (39-16).

Overall, the Trail Blazers have the sixth toughest post-All-Star break schedule with their opponents owning a combined .519 winning percentage, according to Tankathon.com.

Yeah, it’s been far from pretty this season, but the Blazers only need four more victories to avoid finishing with the worst winning percentage in the franchise’s 54 seasons. That distinction currently belongs to the 1971-72 Blazers, who finished a league-worst 18-64 (.220).

Only two other Portland teams — the 1972-73 and 2005-06 squads — failed to win 25 games, each finishing 21-61 (.256).

The 2023-24 Trail Blazers currently are on pace to just eclipse those marks at 23-59.

But given the Blazers’ formidable remaining schedule and the underlying motivation to maintain their top-five draft lottery position with the postseason realistically out of reach, we’ll go with the under (-115) on Portland’s DK win total at 22.5.
