The 2019-2020 season has been somewhat of a disaster for the Blazers. Are they headed towards a late-season crash or will they live up to their top star's reputation and make it just in the nick of time?

However, the 2019-2020 season has been somewhat of a disaster for the Blazers, who are currently sitting outside the playoff picture and are racing against time to get back in. The volatile, but productive Hassan Whiteside has stepped up in the absence of star big man Jusuf Nurkic and churned out a double-double average of 16.3 points and 14.3 rebounds with a league-best 3.1 blocks per game.
Although some of these players may come back healthy once the season resumes at Disney World Orlando, it is still a wait-and-see scenario on whether or not late-season rotation tinkering will do Portland any good.Because of the aforementioned injuries, the Blazers fell down to 9th place in the West with a 29-37 record, just 3.5 games away from the 8th spot but also just 2.5 games ahead of the 13th seed.
