The Portland Trail Blazers have had to adjust to playing without star shooting guard CJ McCollum during the past couple of games. McCollum is currently dealing with a popliteus strain in his left knee and could possibly even miss the remainder of the regular season.
In his absence, Damian Lillard has had no problem handling the additional workload. He is racking up assists at a career rate and led the Blazers to two consecutive victories.
Lillard is the primary reason that the Blazers won those games, but the impressive performance of Seth Curry has been lost in the shuffle.
