5 Reasons for the Blazers' 10-Game Win Streak

#3 Offense

CJ McCollum

When you have an explosive backcourt like Lillard and McCollum, offense should never be a problem but the Blazers have suffered from an over-reliance on the duo in the past. That hasn't really been in the case this season, especially during this streak.

Over the course of this season, the duo has averaged 48.6 points per game, that's 45.9% of the team's total production. As far as that number isn't above 50%, the Blazers are okay. Things get even better from the team's perspective when you shorten the sample size to just their current streak. The duo averages 54.7 points, a huge jump but that's still under the halfway mark at 48.8% of the team's total production.

It's great to see that the team can string more than a couple of wins together without needing their sharpshooters to contribute more than half of their points. So the team is getting adequate production from the rest of its players and it helps that almost all of them - other than Nurkic and Ed Davis - can shoot the long ball efficiently.

During this streak, the Blazers are shooting 38.7% from long range - fifth best in the league. Their big men have been working hard on the glass as well, averaging 11.2 offensive rebounds per game (6th best), which in turn results in second-chance points - 15.9 (2nd best).
