Portland could go on a big tear if Nurkic comes back and is ready to roll.
They can also swap Whiteside for a another wing if they are happy Nurkic can cover.
Pelicans could do anything really, Zion looks pretty good but can he be consistent over a long period.
My bet is Portland and Pelicans battling it out until the last few games of the season.
I find it hard to believe, Portland would trade Whiteside, but I guess it could happen. Whiteside has been playing lights out for the Blazers, and leads the league in shot blocks, and 3rd in rebounding. Nurkic may be the better passer and scorer, but Whiteside protects the paint better. Will be interesting to see what they do at the deadline.
