Wednesday's games
Portland Trail Blazers (-6.5, 219.5) at Detroit Pistons
Fulghum: Portland has won three straight games on this road trip in very impressive fashion. Not only did the Blazers upgrade their roster by trading for Norm Powell at the deadline, but CJ McCollum and Jusuf Nurkic are back in the lineup, making the Blazers full strength for basically the first time all season. The Pistons now have one of the weakest rosters in the NBA. They traded away Delon Wright and Derrick Rose. Blake Griffin is in Brooklyn. The Pistons are in full on tank mode.
