The Trail Blazers haven't been immune to the rash of injuries across the NBA. They are currently without PG Ja Morant (hamstring), who is expected to miss at least four weeks. He was off to an efficient start, too, shooting 54.2% from the field on his way to averaging 15.8 points over their first four games.

Morant's first missed game was Saturday vs. the Jazz, but Portland still pulled off a 112-90 victory.

The Nuggets have a winning record despite a -1.2 point differential. It's been an uncharacteristically slow start for C Nikola Jokic, who is averaging 21.2 PPG. That might be great for many players, but he averaged at least 26.4 points in each of the last three seasons.

The main reason for the multi-time MVP's slow start is him shooting only 47.7% from the field. He's shot no worse than 56.6% in each of the last six campaigns.

Trail Blazers PG Damian Lillard vs. Nuggets: 20.5 Points

• Lillard has been a bit rusty after sitting out all last season with a torn Achilles, shooting only 38.9% from the field. Still, he's averaging 19.2 points because he's attempting 9.4 3-pointers a game.
• Another area in which the veteran PG figures to improve is at the charity stripe. He's only made 77.4% of his attempts from there in 2026, which is significantly lower than his career mark of 89.8%.
• Denver allows the eighth-most 3-point attempts per game (39.4). That could be an area of weakness against Lillard, especially since Portland is 12th in pace of play (101.7).
• Lillard is averaging a modest 29 minutes, although that’s largely due to three of Portland’s games being decided by at least 20 points. In the two close calls, he played 33 and 31 minutes.
