KEY GAME INFORMATION
PORTLAND: LAST SEASON: 53-29, lost 4-0 to Golden State in the Western Conference finals.
COACH: Terry Stotts (eighth season with Trail Blazers, 325-249; 12th season overall, 440-417).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Damian Lillard (25.8 ppg), G CJ McCollum (21.0), F Rodney Hood (11.2), F Zach Collins (8.6), C Hassan Whiteside (12.3 with Miami).
KEY LOSSES: F Al-Farouq Aminu, F Evan Turner, F Maurice Harkless, C Meyers Leonard.
KEY ADDITIONS: Whiteside, C Pau Gasol, F Anthony Tolliver, G Kent Bazemore.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: The Blazers will count on Whiteside at center while Jusuf Nurkic recovers from a broken leg he suffered during a game in March. Nurkic probably won't return until January, at the earliest. The Blazers added some insurance at the position by signing Pau Gasol, who is also making his way back from surgery. Portland will look to Zach Collins to take the next step in his third season in the league. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum form one of the best backcourt duos in the league.
OUTLOOK: In the loaded Western Conference, the revamped Trail Blazers, with a total of seven new players, will have to come together sooner rather than later. A key will be how Whiteside gels with the rest of the team. The 7-footer was acquired in a trade with the Miami, where his production fell off last season after three strong seasons. The Blazers will again emphasize defensive improvement going into the season, something Stotts has routinely preached each fall camp. Lillard signed a supermax extension in the offseason, and appears to be a Blazer for the long haul. Expectations are high for Portland after making the Western Conference finals last season, and players say they're not going to be satisfied with simply making the playoffs, the goal now is to go deep into the postseason.
LA CLIPPERS: LAST SEASON: 48-34, lost 4-2 to Golden State in Western Conference first round.
COACH: Doc Rivers (seventh season with Clippers, 307-185; 21st season overall, 894-658).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: F Kawhi Leonard (30.5 ppg with Toronto), F Paul George (23.7 with Oklahoma City), G Patrick Beverley (7.6), G Landry Shamet (9.1), C Ivica Zubac (8.9).
KEY LOSSES: G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, F Danilo Gallinari, F Wilson Chandler, G-F Garrett Temple, G Sindarius Thornwell, G Tyrone Wallace.
KEY ADDITIONS: Leonard, George.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: It's all about newcomers Leonard and George. They'll be the top two options on offense. Leonard is coming off a season in which he led Toronto to its first NBA championship (and earned his second ring). Leonard returning home was contingent upon pairing with George, also an LA-area native. George, who finished third in MVP voting last season, can guard nearly any position while being a huge scoring threat. Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell, the NBA's top bench-scoring duo last season, will get starter-level minutes again.
OUTLOOK: No more watching other teams go deep in the playoffs. The NBA's balance of power has shifted to the Clippers, who have never advanced beyond the second round let alone won a championship. All that's expected to change behind Leonard and George, both regarded as two of the best two-way players in the league. The Clippers had to give up talented veteran Gallinari and star-in-the-making Gilgeous-Alexander, but they kept Harrell, Williams and re-signed Beverley, whose sole job will be using his tenacious D to keep others from scoring. The Clippers are favorites to win it all, a stunning shift for a franchise that has spent much of its existence as a punch line.
PREVIEW
Clippers picking up steam ahead of Blazers battle
 

Defense has been the best offense so far for the Los Angeles Clippers, according to coach Doc Rivers. But the Clippers' offense would be hard-pressed to duplicate its previous effort when Los Angeles hosts the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

"We are far closer to being great defensively right now than we are offensively," Rivers said. "And that's the area that we have to keep getting better."

The Washington Wizards might believe Rivers is a bit delusional. They were on the short end of a 150-125 road loss to the Clippers on Sunday night.

Kawhi Leonard scored 34 points in 26 minutes for Los Angeles. Paul George delivered 27 of his 31 points in the first half as the Clippers matched the second-highest scoring output in franchise history. They also scored 150 points in a 49-point rout of the Atlanta Hawks on Nov. 16. The Clippers are averaging 115.4 points per game, which was fifth best in the NBA entering Monday.

George rebounded from a poor performance Friday, when he was limited to five points in a 107-97 loss to the San Antonio Spurs that ended the Clippers' seven-game winning streak.

Against the Wizards, Montrezl Harrell contributed 23 points and Lou Williams added 22 points off the bench for the Clippers.

The offensive struggles are minor, Williams said, but mainly due to their unfamiliarity of playing with each other, particularly with newcomers Leonard and George in the mix.

"We've got three guys that are averaging over 20 points a game in their last three seasons, then you have (Harrell) who's coming into his own, he's averaging nearly 20 points a game as well," said Williams, according to the Los Angeles Times. "We've come from three different teams where we're used to having the basketball in our hands. You put all those things together, you've got to kind of take a back seat to other guys at certain times of the game."

Portland has improved after a sluggish start. The Blazers earned a 107-103 victory at home over the Chicago Bulls on Friday for their third straight win after a four-game skid. Damian Lillard scored 28 points and handed out six assists while Carmelo Anthony added 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Blazers.

However, the postgame buzz centered on Portland center Hassan Whiteside, who had a franchise-record 10 blocks to go along with 15 boards and eight points.

Whiteside broke the club record of nine shared by Bill Walton, Joel Przybilla, Theo Ratliff and Mychal Thompson.

"Anytime you beat a Hall of Fame record, it's special," said Whiteside, according to OregonLive.com.

His teammates were equally impressed.

"He had a great, great defensive performance," said Lillard, according to OregonLive.com. "I thought it was pretty much the difference in the game for us. He came up big on the glass, rebounding out of his area, and he blocked 10 shots. If they didn't change (their offense), he probably would have blocked 15."

The addition of Anthony has provided the Blazers a boost offensively. He is averaging 17.7 points in the six games since joining Portland as a free agent, and he was named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday.

The game against the Clippers will be the first of back-to-back contests for the Blazers. They host the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday.

The Clippers will embark on a six-game road swing following Portland's visit, beginning Friday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
