Anfernee Simons (right ankle), Ben McLemore (left hip), Nassir Little (left ankle) and Cody Zeller (right quad) are all questionable for the game.
Portland is 10th in the West at 11-14 this season. They have lost three in a row though and face Golden State on Wednesday. As long as both McCollum and Lillard are out, Portland will be in trouble.
