No. 23 Portland Trail Blazers
Last Season: 51-31 (Lost 4-1 to Grizzlies in the first round)
Analysis: The Blazers will likely take a step back with the loss of LaMarcus Aldridge and Nicolas Batum. Damian Lillard will help Portland remain competitive but they will need to add more pieces to be able to get back into the playoffs.
Prediction: 30-35 wins (Getty)
