Steve Blake (illness) will not play Tuesday against Denver, Erik Gundersen of The Columbian reports.

Blake (illness) will miss the Blazers' final three preseason games, The Oregonian reports.

Analysis:

Blake is dealing with an upper respiratory illness and will sit out Tuesday's exhibition, as well as Wednesday's and Friday's games against the Lakers and Clippers, respectively. His absence will enable CJ McCollum, Will Barton and Diante Garrett to see extensive minutes backing up Damian Lillard at point guard.
