The Portland Trail Blazers are listing shooting guard CJ McCollum as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors.

The Blazers say McCollum is dealing with an upper respiratory infection.

The Blazers are 15-22 on the season, 10th place in the Western Conference standings. On Sunday when McCollum didn't play, Portland fell to the Miami Heat in South Beach by a final score of 122-111.

In 36 games this season, McCollum is averaging 22.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists. He is also shooting 45.8 percent from the field, 37.4 percent from beyond the arc and 81.2 percent from the free-throw line.

After making it to the Western Conference Finals last season, the Blazers have been very inconsistent this season. The addition of Carmelo Anthony has given Portland a boost, but they are still struggling to string wins together and climb up the West standings.

McCollum, who signed an extension with the Blazers this past offseason, has career averages of 18.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists with Portland. As is the case every season, the Blazers will ultimately go as far as McCollum and superstar point guard Damian Lillard can take them.

There are some around the league who believe Portland should break up the roster and rebuild. However, the Blazers are waiting to see how they look once center Jusuf Nurkic returns to the lineup.
