Houston Rockets vs. Portland Trail Blazers game preview

The Houston Rockets continue their road trip tonight in the Pacific Northwest.

The Portland Trail Blazers will be without Damian Lillard, who suffered a calf strain and will be re-evaluated in 1-2 weeks. The Blazers were the only undefeated team left in the NBA at the time of the injury, but the Miami Heat solidly outplayed the Blazers and won going away.

With Lillard out, Portland will turn to Jerami Grant, Anfernee Simons, Josh Hart, and Jusuf Nurkic. They’ve also given rookie Shaedon Sharpe minutes off the bench, and he’s in line to get more now.
