Trail Blazers preparing to snatch the eighth seed in Orlando

It was Lillard’s eighth 40-point or plus game in this season. The threes he swooped in made a lot of difference to the game. Damian Lillard is averaging 29.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 8 assists per game this time in the league.

Lillard was a treat on the floor the other night and pulled his team to the third win in the bubble. The fact remains, that Blazers are still in the race for the eighth seed on the table. Phoenix Suns are trailing right behind the Blazers in the Western Conference with all four wins since the season’s resumption.

It is turning out to be a dramatic battle for that particular spot this season, and we are yet to see who makes it to the playoffs.

For now, Portland Trail Blazers will take on the LA Clippers in their next matchup tomorrow, August 8.
