Freeland tallied 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two steals, and one block in 23 minutes during Wednesday's season finale at Dallas. The Blazers were short-handed throughout their four-game losing streak to conclude the regular season, and Freeland profited with additional work in the final three contests. During that stretch, he far exceeded his typical output, averaging 10 points (on 62 percent shooting), five rebounds, one block, and 0.7 steals in 20 minutes. If Chris Kaman remains afflicted by a lower-back injury in the playoffs, Freeland can expect to uphold his recent standard, at least in terms of his workload.
