Clingan bounced back with a solid effort after he was ejected after playing only 12 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 22-year-old center had 18 points and 13 rebounds, giving him four double-doubles in his last six games. Clingan has provided top-40 per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out Week 19 against the Pacers on Sunday.

Knueppel and the Hornets saw their winning streak snapped at the hands of the Heat on Friday 128-120. The 20-year-old shooting guard still had an excellent game, leading Charlotte with 27 points. Knueppel was 9-of-14 from the field and went 6-of-10 from behind the three-point line. He’s provided fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Hornets close out Week 19 against the Suns on Sunday.

Avdija has missed Portland’s last five games with a lower back injury, and appears likely to miss a sixth on Friday. Scoot Henderson moved into the starting lineup for Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies, as Portland was also without Kris Murray. If Murray returns, Scoot may be headed to the bench.

With Deni Avdija and Kris Murray sidelined, Henderson made his second start of the season on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the third-year guard struggled offensively, shooting 1-of-6 from beyond the arc. The good news for fantasy managers is that he kept the turnovers in check, committing two. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues will be watching Henderson closely over the final month of the regular season, especially with Damian Lillard’s return in the cards for 2026-27.

Due to Donovan Clingan’s second-quarter ejection, Williams’ role took on added importance in Memphis. And the Time Lord was up to the task, scoring a season-high 20 points and recording his fourth double-double of the season. Williams has played 20 minutes or more in just five games this season, making him a challenging player to trust in most fantasy leagues.

Limited to four points on 1-of-9 shooting in Sunday’s loss to the Hawks, Grant rebounded in a big way on Wednesday. Shooting well over 50 percent from the field, he recorded his fourth 30-point game of the season and first since December 14. Fantasy managers also received solid value in the rebound and assist categories, which don’t always happen for Grant.

Holiday and Jerami Grant put on a show in Memphis, combining for 65 points on 24-of-38 shooting from the field. The former finished with a season-high point total while also reaching double figures in assists for the fifth time. Since the All-Star break, Holiday has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Trail Blazers play twice more in Week 19, starting with the Rockets on Friday.

With the trade to Charlotte and his return from a calf injury, White’s role with his new team has lowered his fantasy ceiling. However, the Hornets guard had a good night in Boston, recording excellent percentages and dishing out a team-high six assists (tied with Moussa Diabaté). Just as concerning for managers who have White rostered as his role is Charlotte’s upcoming schedule, as they’ll have another back-to-back to navigate during Week 20.

After only needing to play 21 minutes in Tuesday’s rout of the Mavericks, Miller logged 27 minutes as the Hornets torched the Celtics by a 118-89 final score. All that was missing from his final stat line was a blocked shot, but the efficient scoring and three steals should compensate for that. Miller and the Hornets have won six straight and are 21-8 since New Year’s Day.

The Hornets have now won six straight games, with four players scoring between 17 and 20 points in Wednesday’s 118-89 blowout of the Celtics. Ball’s field-goal percentage may not have been elite, and the assist tally was a bit low. However, Wednesday’s game was his third this season without a turnover, with two being recorded after the All-Star break. Ball as an efficient playmaker makes the Hornets a dangerous team and increases his value in nine-cat formats.

Clingan received his marching orders after having elbowed Grizzlies forward Olivier-Maxence Prosper in the jaw while attempting to shield the basketball. Officials deemed the play severe enough to warrant a Flagrant 2 foul, resulting in Clingan’s ejection. Robert Williams III will have added importance for the remainder of Wednesday’s game. Clingan finished with seven points, nine rebounds, one assist, one steal and three blocked shots.

The rookie has been solid all season, but he was able to match his career high for rebounds in this game and score in double figures for the first time since December.

Though it was a rough shooting night for him, Ball was still able pour in the counting stats as the Hornets won their fifth straight game by at least 15 points. He also set a new season high for steals.

Miller got off to a hot start, scoring 13 points in the first quarter alone. Unfortunately, foul trouble limited him to just 21 minutes, which was enough for him to lead the team in scoring, but not enough for him to truly expand on his start. This put an end to his four-game streak with at least 20 points, but it was the fifth straight win for the Hornets by at least 15 points. They’ll put that streak to the test in Boston on Wednesday.

For the first time since being traded from Atlanta to Portland, Krejčí was back in town playing against his former team. The 29 minutes were the most he’s played in a game since the trade, with Kris Murray’s first-half exit due to an illness being a factor. Krejčí, who shot 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter. With Portland off until Wednesday, that may be enough time for Murray and, more importantly, Deni Avdija (back) to return to full strength. If so, Krejčí will likely continue to come off the bench.

Clingan didn’t record any defensive stats on Sunday, an unsurprising development given the Hawks’ 135 points and 55 percent shooting from the field. But he did record his 24th double-double of the season, three times his total from the 2024-25 campaign. Also, Clingan recorded five assists on Sunday, the fifth time this season that he’s met or exceeded that number.

While Portland did give up 135 points on Sunday, its offense was just as much of an issue. As a team, the Trail Blazers shot 40 percent from the field, with four of the five starters shooting below 50 percent from the field. Holiday was the exception, and he’s scored at least 23 points in back-to-back games for the third time this season. As long as the Blazers remain without Deni Avdija (back), Holiday will have added fantasy value. Portland plays three games in Week 19, starting with Memphis on Wednesday.

The limiting factor for LaMelo recently has been that Charlotte keeps blowing teams out. He only played 22 minutes in this game but was efficient during his time on the floor.

Not only did Knueppel match his career high for three-pointers in a game, but he broke the record for most three-pointers in a season by a rookie. He now sits at 209 triples on the season, surpassing Keegan Murray’s record of 206. Murray did it in 80 games, and the next two on the list are Donovan Mitchell (187 in 79 games) and Damian Lillard (185 in 82 games). Knueppel has played just 59 games and could get to 81 if he plays the rest of the season, meaning he should make the record borderline unbreakable. He has been a fantasy star as a rookie and has a bright career ahead of him.
