I would love to see a little bit of Collins on the Brow tonight. He's the only one on the roster with the length and quickness to possibly match up. Of course, experience and talent are a whole other issue...doubt it'll happen though.

IMO, the key to this game is containing Jrue and keeping Ian Clark from going off from the 3pt line. Luckily, Lillard has been better defensively so far this year (although I expect that to shift back to the norm) and the Blazers have the best perimeter defense in the NBA (again, sample size).

Also, any time Nurkic and Cousins go head to head I always expect a fist fight.

I think we may see an interesting big man rotation tonight. Wondering how Stotts goes about defending the twin towers. Can Chief guard AD? It seems like the Pelicans have been using both guys as face up players rather than taking advantage of matchups so that should be helpful. Won't be totally shocked to see Meyers get a few minutes to go out there and get into it with Cousins.

Maybe Meyers can be useful and get cousins to throw a punch instead of embarrassing himself

Aminu is going to have a tough time keeping Davis off the glass. Boogie and Nurk will also be interesting.

Best thing will be to take it at Boogie and tey and get him into early foul trouble... the Pels bench is a horror show. If the blazers starters can simple play even with the pels starters this should be an easy win
