A mixed bag of tipping for Trent in last night's game. His Atlanta to beat Raptors big pick was a winner, at odds of 1.48 (with the help of over-time), however the Trail Blazers (-3.5) at odds of 1.98 let him down as they lost the game outright. So not a bad effort, but room for improvement!

Not long after, Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard went to the locker room and did not return because of tightness in his right calf.

The 76ers have played without James Harden for two weeks because of a right foot tendon strain and added starting guard Tyrese Maxey to the injury list with a broken left foot. P.J. Tucker suffered an unspecified injury against the Timberwolves and Joel Embiid injured his left ankle/foot following a late-game collision with a teammate.
Embiid, the reigning NBA scoring champion, said well after the final buzzer he was still in pain.
Embiid carried the load Saturday among a lineup that, in one stretch, included him, Danuel House Jr., De’Anthony Melton, Shake Milton and Georges Niang. Embiid had 32 points and nine rebounds. Milton had 27 points and Melton 19.
