4. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum (Portland Trail Blazers)
Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum once again have the Portland Trail Blazers as a top-four team in the packed western conference. They both have stayed healthy and played in 56 of Portland’s 57 games. McCollum has still never made an All-Star team, but still has proven to be one of the top shooting guards in the league.
This dynamic offensive duo also has scored 41.7 percent of the Blazers’ points this season on average, combining for 47.3 points per game. Only one other player on the entire team, Jusuf Nurkic, averages double figures in the scoring column.
Lillard and McCollum have been an elite backcourt duo for several years now, and this season is no different. The Blazers have always had a loaded backcourt with these two, and even with a weak frontcourt, always find themselves in the playoffs.
Lillard is ninth in the NBA in points per game and 14th in assists per game this season. He also has a top-20 PER of 23.9.
