Impact The second-year center had recorded double-doubles in his last two regular-season matchups with the Spurs, but Clingan simply couldn't handle Victor Wembanyama in the latter's playoff debut. Through seven contests in April, Clingan is averaging 10.0 points, 10.4 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.4 threes over 26.1 minutes, and he'll need to raise his game if Portland is going to avoid a quick exit.

Struggles again in victory Clingan closed with four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 114-104 win over the Clippers.

The prolific rebounder has recorded a paltry nine boards over the past two games, well below his seasonal average of 11.6 rebounds per game. While others have picked up the slack, the team lacks a key element of their success without Clingan's proficiency off the glass. He'll take a day off and try to right the ship Thursday against the Pelicans.
