Freeland will start again Saturday against New Orleans, the Oregonian reports.
Analysis:
The 27-year-old made just his second career start Friday in place of Robin Lopez (hand), recording eight points, six rebounds, one assist and one block in 21 minutes. With Lopez expected to miss 6-to-7 weeks, the door is open for Freeland to continue starting for Portland, though veteran Chris Kaman will likely also inherit a good number of Lopez's minutes.
