The Portland Trail Blazers continue to try to make an unlikely push to the playoffs. They have won five of their last six games as they try to take over the tenth spot in the Western Conference standings.

Currently, the Trail Blazers are four games behind the Mavericks for the tenth spot in the West. They are still trying to get themselves into that final play-in spot.

They now have to take on the Boston Celtics in order to try to keep their run going. Boston is the second-best team in the Eastern Conference and is trying to keep it that way.

Portland has had to deal with a lot of injuries this season, but they have found a way to persevere to the point that they are not out of the playoff run. It's still unlikely, but they aren't out of it.

Jaylen Brown is one of Boston's best players. He's also been one of their most durable players over the last few years.

He has found himself on the injury report ahead of this game against Portland. He is listed as questionable due to a non-Covid illness.
