The New Orleans Pelicans ( 9 - 19 ) defeated the Portland Trail Blazers ( 11 - 20 ) 115 - 89 on Wednesday . The Blazers have now lost four consecutive games , with the last pair of defeats coming with Damian Lillard sidelined with plantar fasciitis . Backcourt mate C.J . McCollum valiantly returned from his own ailment ( two sprained ankles ) on Wednesday to attempt to provide some offensive punch in the All-Star point guard 's absence , but Portland fell woefully short overall , despite facing a Pelicans defense that came in yielding a league - worst 108 points per game . The Blazers have now failed to hit the century mark scoring - wise in both contests that Lillard has missed , underscoring how much the offensively - challenged team misses his 25 points and 7 assists per game . McCollum was able to muster 19 points , seven assists and five rebounds while serving as the point guard for the night in Lillard 's stead . Allen Crabbe ( 12 points ) and Al-Farouq Aminu ( 10 points ) joined him in tallying double - digit points but went a combined 8 for 23 from the field . Mason Plumlee managed a modest eight points but did contribute 12 rebounds , the fifth time in the last six games he 's hauled in double - digit boards . Meyers Leonard paced the Portland reserves with a productive 15 - point , five - rebound outing over 27 efficient minutes . While Portland did manage to outrebound New Orleans on the offensive glass by the significant margin of 22 to 8 , their general inability to do much with their second chances served as a reflection of their current scoring struggles . The Trail Blazers dropped to 11 - 20 and currently reside in the last place in the Western Conference 's Northwest Division . They head to Cleveland to take on the Cavs on Saturday . The home team was spearheaded by another monster double - double from All-Star Anthony Davis , who exploited the Trail Blazers ' vulnerabilities in the frontcourt . Davis managed 28 points , 12 rebounds , an assist , a steal and three blocks . Meanwhile , Tyreke Evans was right behind him with a performance that was just an assist and a couple of rebounds short of a triple - double , compiling 24 points , nine dimes and eight boards . Eric Gordon was the third starter in double - digits , pouring in 11 points , six assists and four rebounds . Jrue Holiday ( 19 points ) and Ryan Anderson ( 13 points ) supported their efforts with a pair of formidable contributions from the bench . The Pelicans upped their record to 9 - 19 but remain in last place in the Western Conference 's Southwest Division . They head to Miami to face the Heat in a Christmas Day showdown .
