The Stat I’m Watching for the Trail Blazers Right Now
The Trail Blazers open the 2026‑27 season 2‑0 and are poised to face the Lakers tonight, but a new focal point could dictate their success: assisted three‑pointers. While Portland’s 34.7% three‑point rate sits mid‑league, the author argues that kicks from drives—especially by Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara and occasional Ja Morant—force defenses to spread, creating higher‑percentage shots. If the Blazers consistently convert these assisted threes, their offense could evolve from modest to elite, bolstering a defense that already shines. Failure to capitalize would relegate them to a rebuild‑style, hot‑hand reliance.
