The New Orleans Pelicans face the Portland Trail Blazers, aiming to end their losing streak. The game features key injuries on both sides, impacting the outcome.
The New Orleans Pelicans aim to bounce back after a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. They face the Portland Trail Blazers , who have already defeated them twice this season, including a 18-point victory in New Orleans. The Pelicans are striving for a healthier roster, with Zion Williamson returning from a two-month hamstring injury. He scored 22 points in his comeback.
However, Williamson has been ruled out for Wednesday's game due to 'return to competition reconditioning,' along with Brandon Ingram (ankle) and Trey Murphy III (ankle). Dejounte Murray is questionable with right elbow soreness. Portland has ruled out Jerami Grant (face contusion) and Matisse Thybulle (right ankle), while Deni Avdija (right wrist sprain) and Donovan Clingan (rest) are questionable. The Blazers hold a 4-15 record on the road this year. The 79th matchup between these teams sees the Pelicans at 7-30 for the season, hoping for a chance to see their full potential
