However, Portland may need to play this game against the Nuggets without a key player. Veteran forward Jerami Grant has been listed as questionable entering this game.
Grant has been dealing with some right knee soreness and it could see him miss this contest. The veteran has been fairly durable this season so the hope is that he will be able to give it a go against the Nuggets.
