Despite all odds, the Portland Trail Blazers have a chance to make the playoffs, especially since they are only two games behind the Dallas Mavericks and Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference.

Unfortunately, the Trail Blazers hit a major roadblock when center Robert Williams III had to undergo a season-ending knee surgery. Now, Portland's postseason future remains in question, especially with Deandre Ayton also out with injury.

Now, the Blazers' playoff future is going to come down to rookie Donovan Clingan, who has proven that he can handle the pressure in the past. Unfortunately, Clingan has been downgraded to questionable with an undisclosed illness.
