The Blazers will be without Brandon Roy tonight, who only saw 6 minutes of action against the Hornets, because of the heel injury which has continually bothered him since the Clippers game.

However, Portland fans may get to see Lamarcus Aldridge for the first time in regular season play and his debut could not come at a better time. Portland is already missing two centers and desperately needs a backup for Jamaal Magloire who has split rebounding duties with Zach Randolph.

NBA scouts compared the young Aldridge to Dirk Nowitizki because both have an inside - outside combination of skills and an unparalleled ability to create. Hopefully, Aldridge can contain the perennial All-Star and help the Blazers move to 5 - 2.
