Portland rookie Rudy Fernandez is hoping to miss the famed 'rookie wall' as he hits the quarter point of his first NBA season.

"I feel like I prepare my body, so I don't need the rest," Fernandez said. "But it is true sometimes I'm tired in games. The back-to-back ... some days I need the rest. But now, I feel good. But maybe in say, game 64, I feel different. We'll see."
