The Portland Trail Blazers hit the road for a game against Sacramento in what should be a close game at Golden1 Center. Portland are yet to show the form which pushed them all the way to the Western Conference finals last season, while the Kings have failed to fully justify the hype surrounding them. Both the teams are outside the playoff position but the winner of this game could break into the top-seven.
That said, the Kings have some momentum with them after winning three times in the last four games. Their latest win was a 109-121 win over Atlanta Hawks on the road. Portland, meanwhile, ended their four-game skid with an overtime 124-113 win over Atlanta Hawks in their last match.

Captain options:
Damian Lillard: Had it for his numbers only, the Blazers would have been flying high in the Western Conference, for he is racking up the league’s 2nd best offensive record, averaging 33.0 points per game and behind only James Harden. It’s clear then that beyond his numbers, the Blazers are struggling to get the offense on board.
CJ McCollum: McCollum is averaging 19.8 points per game, 2nd best points per game record for the Blazers this season. But it’s the consistency of his performance which is a cause for concern for the team. But the season is new and a lot of players are yet to hit their top form. He should be on your team.
Hassan Whiteside: With Jusuf Nurkic out, he has become a critical cog in this Blazers’ team. He is averaging a team-high 13.1 rebounds per game this season and is 3rd on the list with 14.9 points per game.
Bogdan Bogdanovic: He is leading the points chart for the Kings, as he averages 20.7 points per game this season, only player on King’s roster to average in the 20s so far. He comes cheap as well, so a no-nonsense choice.
Buddy Hield: Yet to hit his top-gear, but the recent showings signal towards a better return. The 26-year-old is averaging 18.1 points per game.
