Portland Trail Blazers Preview
Portland had an eventful offseason but didn't lose many meaningful players. Damian Lillard, Anfernee Simons, Jusuf Nurkic and Drew Eubanks re-signed. Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant and Gary Payton were drafted.
Portland Trail Blazers are rebuilding after a disappointing season. Damian Lillard missed 29 games last year due to chronic abdominal pain. Lard suffered a career-threatening injury and underwent surgery in mid-January. The team traded CJ McCollum to the Pelicans and signed Jerami Grant. Grant was traded from Detroit to Portland in a pre-draft trade. He will play with Lill, Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic. DraftKings gives the team 39.5 wins and +8000 odds to win the NBA title in 2022-23.
