I think the Clippers and Trail Blazers are going to play a highly competitive game on Friday night. I give a slight edge to the Trail Blazers, as I think that the absence of Zubac is going to hurt the Clippers in a big way. Look for the Blazers to steal this game late behind the scoring of Avdija in what could end up being the game of the night in the NBA from a competitive standpoint.
