Portland Trail Blazers vs Brooklyn Nets Preview

The Trail Blazers are in the expected terrain

The Trail Blazers are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to rankings. However, they have shown some fights here and there. Still, they have lost five of their last seven games, a pattern that the Trail Blazers fans have been used to by now. On a couple of positive notes, Anfernee Simons has been a terrific offensive player which has brought some wins here and there, meanwhile, Shaedon Sharpe is also emerging as a reliable scorer. Unfortunately, last year’s #3 pick Scoot Henderson has been highly efficient but has shown promise as a playmaker. At any rate, the Trail Blazers will be hoping to land a top-five pick during the stacked 2025 NBA Draft.

The Nets are going nowhere

Shipping Mikal Bridges to the Knicks during the offseason made it clear that the Nets are heading for the lottery. They were competitive till late November with a 9-10 record but after that, they fell apart, losing 16 of their last 19 games. The injuries to Cam Thomas, D’Angelo Russell, Cameron Johnson, and Bojan Bogdanovic have decimated them in every manner. But many Nets fans won’t probably mind it as they will have a better chance of entering the lottery during the 2025 NBA Draft.

Hi, I am Shubham. I am currently an NBA Predictions Writer on The Playoffs. I enjoy this job because it helps keep me in the loop about the game I love while fulfilling the pleasure I derive from stats. I got into NBA writing through social media interactions in the mid-2010s as I shared my takes on young talents such as D’Angelo Russell. I hope you enjoy reading my pieces as much as Dennis Rodman loved rebounding the basketball!
