Nuggets injury report

PF Peyton Watson (QUESTIONABLE - Hamstring)

Watson has been out since Feb. 4 with a strained hamstring, but he is expected to return for the Nuggets. He is averaging 14.9 points per game so far this season for the Nuggets, making it his best season yet in the NBA. Watson's return should make things harder for the Blazers, even if he is on a minutes restriction.

Trail Blazers vs. Nuggets preview

The Blazers are putting their three-game win streak on the line as they take on the division rival Nuggets in the final game before they return home after being away for a week.

The Blazers have played well on their road trip, but they haven't had a test as tough as the one they are about to face. They are facing a Nuggets squad at full strength, which hasn't been available often this season.

It will be an opportunity for the Blazers to truly see where they are at going into the final three weeks of the season. They currently find themselves in eighth place in the Western Conference standings, so a win would be huge for their chances at advancing in the Play-In tournament.

A loss won't derail their chances, but the Blazers need to do everything in their power to try and come out with a win.
