Gary Trent Jr.

SG, Portland Trail Blazers

The Blazers’ game on Tuesday night against the Rockets could call for Gary Trent Jr. to start in place of Zach Collins.

The return of Collins and Jusuf Nurkic has certainly paid off for Portland, but the smaller Rockets with their relentless pace of play might be best countered with a smaller Blazers lineup. Collins and backup big man Hassan Whiteside have not been very effective through two games, while Trent on the other hand has been a revelation scoring in double-digits in both games so far. There is nothing official yet but we should get a better idea about the rumored lineup change later today.
