Saturday’s game will be the second straight that Porter has missed due to a sprained right ankle. Danny Wolf should remain in the starting lineup, and the rookie is worth picking up in deeper fantasy leagues.

Henderson has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, his most productive scoring run of the season to date. While he was responsible for five turnovers, the overall production helps compensate for that. Henderson doesn’t bring much to the table defensively, and the field-goal percentage remains low, limiting his value in category leagues. To this point in his career, Scoot has been more valuable in points leagues.

Finishing with his 27th double-double of the season, Clingan also provided excellent value in the blocked shots category. The six rejections were a season-high for the second-year center, and two shy of his career-high. Since the All-Star break, Clingan has been a second-round player in fantasy basketball, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (90) by a significant distance. He’ll look to end Week 20 on a high note when Portland visits Philadelphia on Sunday.

Since the All-Star break, Holiday has scored at least 19 points in eight of the 11 games that he’s played. He had an excellent night against the Jazz, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and providing good value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Portland still has another game in Week 20, as they visit the 76ers on Sunday. Even more enticing for those who have Holiday rostered is that Portland opens its Week 21 with a game against the lottery-bound Nets on Monday.

Williams’ absence frees up minutes on the back end of the Trail Blazers’ rotation for Yang Hansen, who will slot in as the backup center. That isn’t enough to make the rookie worth the risk in redraft leagues, but he should be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Traoré and Williams were held out of Thursday’s loss to the Hawks, with the former being replaced in the starting lineup by fellow rookie Ben Saraf. While Traoré will likely reclaim his spot in the starting lineup, Williams may be asked to come off the bench.

Powell’s absence won’t have a significant effect on fantasy basketball, even with Egor Dëmin (foot) done for the rest of the season. Ziaire Williams has been removed from the injury report and should absorb most of the minutes that would go to Powell.

Claxton will get Saturday off, and with Day’Ron Sharpe done for the season, multiple streaming options could emerge. Noah Clowney and Danny Wolf are at the top of the list, as they’re both starters, while Josh Minott had one of the best games of his career in Thursday’s loss to the Hawks.

Agbaji was not officially ruled out for either of the Nets’ last two games, but he did not see any action. With Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) likely to miss another game, there may be rotation minutes available to Agbaji. However, that isn’t enough to make him a player worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Williams is on the report for injury management reasons, which could mean a return to the rotation for Yang Hansen. The rookie has been recalled from the Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate and is officially active. Hansen should only be rostered in dynasty leagues, and there would be no need to place him into active lineups if the Time Lord sits.

Minott had strong stretch with the Celtics earlier this season, but he hasn’t done much with his minutes since he was traded to Brooklyn. However, he shined in this game with a well-rounded, productive stat line. Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) was sidelined for this game, which may have led to Minott taking on a few extra minutes. He has proven that he can be productive when he gets the minutes, but they haven’t come consistently enough for him to be worth adding at this point.

The Nets are without Nolan Traoré and Michael Porter Jr. for Thursday’s game, opening two spots in the starting lineup. Saraf and Wolf have been tabbed to fill the voids, with the latter offering the higher fantasy ceiling.

Sharpe, who missed the Nets’ last two games with a left thumb injury, has been diagnosed with a torn UCL in the thumb. As a result, he’ll undergo surgery and miss the rest of the season. This is a rough turn for fantasy managers who targeted Sharpe for the silly season. While Danny Wolf has been used more on the perimeter, his opportunities may increase in the aftermath of Sharpe’s injury, especially if the Nets look to play starters Nic Claxton and Noah Clowney less. Josh Minott and Chaney Johnson have also played rotation minutes recently and are worth watching.

Porter is dealing with a sprained right ankle and will not play against the Hawks. Danny Wolf has been the replacement in the starting lineup in the past, and that should be the case on Thursday. Given where the Nets are in the standings, Wolf may be worth holding onto in deeper leagues for the rest of the season.

Clingan has recorded a double-double in two of his last three games and has at least 11 rebounds in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old center also made his impact felt on the defensive end with a steal and three blocks. Clingan has played under 30 minutes in four consecutive games, which has been a drag on his fantasy value lately.

Avdija returned from a back injury with 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Pacers. The story was similar Tuesday against the Hornets as he had 22 points, though the Trail Blazers lost. Avdija played 34 minutes Tuesday after playing 25 on Sunday, which is certainly a positive development as he’s now seemingly over his back injury. The Trail Blazers have two more games this week and Avdija should be available for both of them.

Porter returned to the starting lineup Tuesday after resting for Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 27-year-old small forward had 19 points, but played only 22 minutes due to a blowout. The good news for Porter managers is that the Nets have two more games this week, starting with a matchup against the Hawks on Thursday.

Sharpe is coming off one of his better games of the season after posting a 19/5/2/2/1 line against the Grizzlies on Monday. He’s dealing with a left thumb sprain and will get the night off for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Nic Claxton should handle an increased workload with Sharpe out of action, while Danny Wolf could operate as Claxton’s top backup. The absence of Williams isn’t as impactful, but it could mean more minutes for Ochai Agbaji.

With Michael Porter Jr. (rest) getting the night off, Wolf made his ninth start of the season. In the previous eight, the 7-foot rookie averaged 10.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.3 three-pointers per game. Wolf exceeded the points, rebounds and three-point averages in Monday’s victory, shooting just under 50 percent from the field. While the returns haven’t been elite, Wolf is worth the streaming risk in deep leagues when allowed to start.

In five games this month, Traoré has hit double figures in points in three of them, including Monday’s win over the Grizzlies. What stood out from the rookie guard’s performance was his work from beyond the arc, with Traoré making a season-high four three-pointers on five attempts. He entered Monday having shot 4-of-12 in his previous four games. For the season, Traoré is shooting a little over 32 percent from three, so it’s too early to expect nights like Monday to become the norm. But this was a promising display from a guard who has made some strides as a playmaker as the season has progressed.

Even though Danny Wolf was the Nets player called upon to fill in for Michael Porter Jr. (rest), MPJ’s absence also meant more playing time for Agbaji. He made the most of his 22 minutes, with Ochai’s 19 points a new season-high. Add in the production across the board, and Monday was a good night for the few who rostered Agbaji. His fantasy value for the rest of the season will be influenced by Porter’s availability, but he’ll be no higher than second in the pecking order behind Wolf when MPJ doesn’t play.

Despite coming off the bench, Sharpe enjoyed one of his best games of the season in Monday’s 126-115 win over the Grizzlies. A double-digit scorer in three of his last four appearances, the Nets’ backup center has hit 19 points four times since February 1. At this point in the season, Sharpe has reached a point where deep-league managers can justify slotting him into lineups, even on nights when Nic Claxton (nine points, eight rebounds, five assists and two blocks) is available.

Less than a week after it was announced by Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez that Dëmin did not have a return timeline, the rookie has been ruled out for the rest of the season. The eighth overall pick in last summer’s draft, Dëmin has been dealing with plantar fascia issues in his left foot since the summer. While the Nets managed his workload throughout the season, with the rookie not playing back-to-backs, the issue flared up recently. The expectation is that he’ll be good to go for basketball activity early in the offseason. Dëmin appeared in 52 games, starting 45, and averaged 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.4 three-pointers in 25.2 minutes. While perimeter shooting was believed to be a significant question mark during the pre-draft process, Dëmin shot 38.5 percent from beyond the arc. The most consistent of the Nets’ five first-round picks, he’s someone who will be worth picking in drafts next fall.

Back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup after a six-game absence, Avdija started and played 25 minutes on Sunday. Given the time off and how long his lower back injury has lingered, the Trail Blazers weren’t going to take any risks with the All-Star wing. Avdija missed all four of his three-point attempts, but fantasy managers can work with the rebounds, assists and blocks. Portland’s three-game Week 20 concludes with a back-to-back that extends into Week 21, so Avdija may be limited to two appearances.

Holiday was one of three Trail Blazers to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, with Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant being the others. The veteran guard shot 70 percent from the field against the Pacers, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. While the defensive production was limited, that isn’t an issue for Holiday on most nights.

Grant may not have done much in the rebound category, an unsurprising development for him, but he compensated for that with excellent production in other areas. The veteran forward has now scored at least 21 points in three straight and seven of his last eight games. Add in the three-pointers, steals and blocked shots, and Sunday was an excellent night to have Grant in fantasy lineups.

After struggling in two spot starts, Henderson returned to the bench on Sunday due to Deni Avdija’s return from a back injury. And the shift to his usual role may have done Scoot some good. The third-year guard recorded his first 20-point game of the season, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field. Also notable about Henderson’s complete stat line was his lack of turnovers. He didn’t commit any in Sunday’s victory, a major step in the right direction for the Trail Blazers guard. Portland plays three games in Week 20, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.
