They are such incredibly different players. When we played the Nuggets, Okafor dominated Jokic, and Hayes wouldn't have had the strength to guard him. On the other hand, against teams without a really big center, Hayes's deficiencies are less important and his ability to play above the rim matters more.

Is Portland starting Whiteside? We're likely going to need all the fouls we can get from both Okafor and Hayes, since he can't shoot FTs and fouling him is a good idea when he gets the ball close to the basket.

Okafor was listed as doubtful yesterday, so he won't be playing.

Hayes will be our loan big man unless you count Melli.

Portland has Whiteside only, if Hayes plays smart and just avoids getting in foul trouble, I say let Whiteside put up 20, it still wont be enough

Okafor can start at the 5 and Hayes comes off the bench.....that’s not a tough one.

Given no health issues on the team.
