Monday’s game is the second in as many days for the Trail Blazers, so Williams’ absence is unsurprising. Starter Donovan Clingan may pick up a few more minutes, with Portland going small when he isn’t in the game. Yang Hansen’s best chance at playing time would be if the Trail Blazers led by a large margin.

Grant and Krejčí will remain out for another game, with the former’s absence likely resulting in another spot start for Sidy Cissoko. However, Cissoko played 19 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Nuggets, with Matisse Thybulle playing 25 off the bench.

Traoré has scored in double figures in three straight games, with the 17 points in Sacramento being the most in a game for him since March 1. Just as important for the rookie point guard was the turnover count. After rolling up ten in losses to the Warriors and Knicks, Traoré was responsible for just two on Sunday. As long as he’s healthy, Traoré should have every opportunity to run the team. He isn’t a must-add, but the rookie is worth considering in deep leagues, especially with the Nets playing four games in Week 22.

While Saraf still has work to do as a perimeter shooter, as evidenced by his 0-of-6 night from three, he was highly efficient inside of the arc. The rookie guard shot 10-of-14 from two, while also providing solid value in assists and steals. Nolan Traoré remains the starting point guard, but Egor Dëmin (foot) being out for the rest of the season has opened up more opportunities for Saraf.

A starter in Brooklyn’s last two games, Williams has totaled 35 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals, one blocked shot and four three-pointers in losses to the Knicks and Kings. His value moving forward depends on the availability of Noah Clowney (wrist), who did not play in either matchup. The Nets play in Portland on Monday, and Williams may be worth a look in deep leagues if Clowney misses another game.

Camara entered Sunday having scored seven points or fewer in three of his previous five appearances. The Trail Blazers’ wing got back on track in Denver, shooting 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. If there was a disappointment for fantasy managers, it was that Camara did not record any defensive stats. With the Trail Blazers hosting the Nets on Monday, there’s a good chance that he puts up some defensive numbers in that one.

While Clingan’s failure to record any defensive stats in Sunday’s defeat was disappointing, his continued progress as a perimeter shooter must be exciting for fantasy managers. Especially those competing in dynasty leagues. The 7-foot-2 center shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc in Denver, after having shot 4-of-10 in his prior two appearances. Given the current state of the Nets, Monday’s opponent, it would be unsurprising if Clingan started Week 22 with another quality stat line.

Having totaled 15 assists and 13 turnovers in his last three games, Avdija finished Week 21 on a high note, even if Portland took the loss. His 14 assists against the Nuggets were countered by three turnovers in one of his more efficient games since the All-Star break. Add in the points and rebounds, and this was an excellent performance from Avdija. The Trail Blazers play four games in Week 22, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Wolf sprained his left ankle when he landed on the foot of teammate Terance Mann during the second quarter of Sunday’s game. Requiring assistance to get back to the locker room, the rookie is out for at least the rest of the night. Chaney Johnson and E.J. Liddell have been the reserve frontcourt players, and the Nets will likely go small for stretches as well.

After scoring 12 points in the first half of Friday’s victory, he was two points better in the second half as the Trail Blazers withstood a Minnesota rally. Having totaled 20 points on 8-of-20 shooting in his prior two appearances, the veteran forward needed a night like Friday. And the Trail Blazers will need more production from Grant moving forward, starting with Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.

While turnovers remain an issue for Avdija, who committed four on Friday, his scoring output has picked up recently. Since his most recent absence due to a lingering lower back injury, the Trail Blazers wing has scored at least 17 points in seven straight games.

The Timberwolves struggled to come up with an answer for Clingan during the first half of Friday’s game, as the second-year center recorded 17 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots. Minnesota did a better job with Clingan in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to keep Portland from leaving with the win. Clingan will have another challenging individual matchup on Sunday, as he and the Trail Blazers visit the Nuggets.

Unlike Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, when he didn’t check into the game until well into the second half, Minott was one of the first subs off the bench on Friday. He made the most of his opportunity, shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc and tallying 22 points as part of a complete stat line. Noah Clowney’s wrist injury freed up additional minutes for Minott on Friday, and that may be the case again on Sunday in Sacramento.

With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) and Noah Clowney (wrist) sidelined due to injury, Williams was inserted into the Nets’ starting lineup on Friday. And he had a good night, shooting 60 percent from the field and recording a line that only lacked a blocked shot. The Nets now head west, with the first game of their trip scheduled for Sunday in Sacramento. With Clowney unlikely to play, Williams would be worth the streaming risk if Porter also remains out.

The Pacers struggled to come up with an answer for Clingan, who punished them on the glass and from beyond the arc on Wednesday.

The Pacers had no answer for Avdija or Donovan Clingan on Wednesday, as they combined to score 60 of the Trail Blazers’ 125 points. For the former, this was his first 30-point game since a January 18 win over the Kings. Given the hit that Avdija’s production has taken since the back injury he suffered in mid-January, fantasy managers aren’t going to lose any sleep over his five turnovers against the Pacers.

Traoré wasn’t the most efficient player on Wednesday, an unsurprising development for a rookie point guard facing the reigning champs. However, the six assists and three defensive contributions were positives for the Nets guard. With Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the season, Traoré’s development is likely to be one of the points of emphasis for the Nets during the final weeks of the season. If he can improve his efficiency, there may be some value for deep-league managers.
