The Portland Trail Blazers have been a staple in the NBA since their founding in 1970. With just one championship under their belt — a memorable 1977 run led by Bill Walton — the Blazers are constantly striving to return to those championship heights. And while recent years haven’t delivered banner results, NBA 2K26 paints a promising picture for the team’s digital alter ego.
In NBA 2K26, the Trail Blazers come in as a Tier 3 squad, with a team overall (OVR) rating of 83. They may not be championship contenders in this year’s iteration, but they’re far from pushovers. Their outside shooting clocks in at an impressive 87, while athleticism is no slouch either with an 85 ATH rating. Let’s dive into the specifics of the roster and see which Blazers are primed to dominate on the court: digital or otherwise.
Top 3 Players: Steady Vets and Rising Stars
Damian Lillard remains the face of the franchise and still leads the charge with a 91 OVR, showcasing elite-level playmaking and shooting. Despite some shakeups in the real-world Blazers roster, it’s clear that in the 2K universe, Lillard’s impact remains near-legendary.
Deni Avdija makes a strong appearance with an 86 OVR, bringing versatility as a 3-level small ball forward. Hot on his heels is veteran guard Jrue Holiday with an 85 OVR, offering dependable two-way action as a hybrid point and shooting guard.
