Flops in starting role Blevins finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes Saturday in the Trail Blazers' 135-121 loss to the Timberwolves. Impact The assist total was nice enough, but Blevins otherwise did little to impress in his first career NBA start. Blevins was appointed to the top unit solely because Portland had just eight players available for the contest, so expect him to move to the bench and see a steep drop in playing time if any of Eric Bledsoe (Achilles), Justise Winslow (Achilles), Elijah Hughes (thumb) or Greg Brown (illness) are available for Monday's rematch with Minnesota.
