Gameday Thread: New Orleans Pelicans vs. Portland Trail Blazers

Welcome to the Gameday Open Thread at Blazer’s Edge! This is a place to hang out and enjoy tonight’s festivities with your fellow fans. Treat it as if you’re watching a game at the local watering hole, but hopefully without the language. Expect some disagreements, and a fair amount of changing emotions. But we'll get through it together.

Injury update: For the Pelicans, Omer Asik will not play due to lower back pain. Nicolas Batum will not play due to a right knee contusion. However, LaMarcus Aldridge has been activated after a battle with an upper respiratory illness.

LaMarcus Aldridge has been activated for tonight's game. #PORvsNOP
