NBA: Ranking the top duos from the 2019-20 season

9. Damian Lillard/CJ McCollum, Portland Trail Blazers

Combined stats: 51 points, eight rebounds, 12 assists

As one of the highest-scoring duos on this list, it’s no surprise to see Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum on this list. However, it is a surprise to see them kind of low on this list considering that just a couple of years ago this is a duo that was making quite the buzz around the league in the Western Conference playoffs.

Nevertheless, even though the Portland Trail Blazers aren’t having the season that many thought they would after coming off a run to the Western Conference Finals, this is still a team that will remain dangerous as long as Lillard and McCollum are at the forefront of this team’s starting lineup.

With the likelihood that the regular season won’t be resumed as it was intended, that means the Blazers, who are currently 3.5 games back of the final playoff spot in the West, will probably miss the playoffs just a year after their historic playoff run. It’s really unfortunate and a message to the rest of the league – it could be over just when it looks like it’s just begun.
