Walker is available after initially being questionable for Sunday’s game. He’ll play rotation minutes off the bench, serving as Donovan Clingan’s backup. Walker can provide late-round value in deep leagues but does not qualify as a must-add player.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Avdija will remain out for a second-straight contest. His absence means Shaedon Sharpe will stay in the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Avdija sat out Friday, but he’s got a chance to return against Detroit. If Avdija is unable to play, Walker could see increased run, and if both are out, Kris Murray would be in line for additional minutes. Jerami Grant could also see plenty of playing time after returning from a four-game absence.

Henderson’s 22 points were the most he’s had in a game since January 30. The 21-year-old point guard had shot 41 percent or less from the field in three games in March entering play Friday, but against the Thunder he shot 53 percent from the field. Henderson might’ve benefited from additional usage with Deni Avdija (quad) and Dalano Banton (personal) out, but he’ll need more consistent minutes in general to be a legitimate fantasy asset.

Grant returned from a four-game absence due to right knee tendinitis. The 30-year-old power forward played just 24 minutes despite getting the start. Grant struggled from the field going 2-of-10 including missing all six of his 3-point attempts. Fantasy managers should assume that the Trail Blazers will continue to be cautious in working Grant back in over the coming games.
POR • Guard • #17

Sharpe has now played at least 33 minutes in six straight games and scored at least 18 points in all six of those games. The 21-year-old shooting guard is a consistent scorer when given the requisite minutes. While Jerami Grant returned from a knee injury, he only played 24 minutes Friday. Dalano Banton (personal) and Deni Avdija (quad) were both out. Given the number of rotation players that have been in and out of the lineup in Portland, Sharpe should be rostered in all formats going forward.

Allen’s double-double was his third in his last four games. The 26-year-old center was an absolute monster on the defensive end with five steals and a block against the Hornets Friday. Allen has made 15 consecutive free throws over his last five games, which only adds to his fantasy value. He’s provided sixth-round fantasy value on the season.

Mobley sat out Tuesday’s game against the Bulls for rest reasons, but has come back and posted a double-double in both games since. The 23-year-old center continues to have a breakout season that includes 29 double-doubles now. Mobley has been a fourth-round value in eight-category leagues since the All-Star break. Cleveland might look to give him some more nights off in the future as the Cavaliers prepare for a playoff run.

Mitchell missed all six of his 3-point attempts Friday, which was the first time he hadn’t made a 3-pointer in a game since February 16. The 28-year-old shooting guard instead continued to draw fouls and made 12-of-18 free throws. Mitchell has now attempted at least 11 free throws in four of his last six games. He’s scored at least 24 points in four straight games and seven of his last eight games. Fantasy managers will have to worry about potential rest days for Mitchell down the stretch given the Cavaliers’ huge lead for the No. 1 seed.

Grant has missed the last four games with right knee tendinitis. The 30-year-old power forward was initially listed as questionable, but will return to the floor Friday against the Thunder.

Avdija re-aggravated his quad injury Wednesday. The 24-year-old small forward was initially listed as questionable, but has since been ruled out Friday against the Thunder. Shaedon Sharpe stands to see the biggest uptick in usage and benefit the most with Avdija out.

Banton will be sidelined for the first time in nearly a month, but his absence won’t have a dramatic impact on the team’s rotation. Scoot Henderson will likely pick up a few extra minutes off the bench with Banton unavailable.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Bulls, Mobley recorded his 28th double-double of the season on Wednesday. By comparison, he had 22 in the entire 2023-24 campaign. Since the All-Star break, the Cavaliers forward has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats. Mobley’s return pushed De’Andre Hunter to the bench, but that didn’t prevent him from delivering value. Hunter played 23 minutes, finishing with 16 points, five rebounds, two assists and one blocked shot.

Wednesday night, Garland hit double digits in assists for the sixth time this season and first since February 2. However, the issue for him has been his shooting, especially since the All-Star break. Garland is shooting 34 percent from the field, 14 points below his mark for the season (48.1). While his season-long fantasy value remains strong, managers need Garland to turn the shooting around heading into the playoff weeks.
CLE • Guard • #45

Wednesday’s victory made the Cavaliers the first team to clinch a playoff spot, and Mitchell led the way. He’s scored 25 points or more in three straight and six of his last seven games, providing fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. While that doesn’t align with Mitchell’s season-long fantasy value, his availability will be the more significant concern for fantasy managers. Cleveland holds a sizable lead on Boston for the best record in the East, which could result in a few more rest days for Mitchell before the end of the regular season.

Sharpe has now scored 20 points or more in four of his last five outings, one of the reasons why he’s ranked just outside the top 50 in nine-cat formats over the past week. The third-year guard may have a “fantasy-friendly” game, but being able to play starters’ minutes raises his ceiling. With Deni Avdija aggravating a prior quad injury during Wednesday’s game and Jerami Grant also dealing with injuries, Sharpe should be rostered in more than 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues as he currently is.

Simons was highly efficient in Boston, shooting over 50 percent from the field and not committing a turnover. And for the first time this season, he’s scored 30 points or more in consecutive games. Since the All-Star break, Simons has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, solid production for a player ranked just inside the top 100 for the season. Portland plays two more games during Week 18, starting with the Thunder on Friday.

On a night when Donovan Clingan (two points, seven rebounds, one assist and one block in 20 minutes) didn’t have much of an impact, Walker stepped up with a big night off the bench. The 22 points were a season-high for the Blazers forward, who shot 6-of-6 from beyond the arc. While an afterthought in most fantasy leagues, Walker has provided 14th-round value in nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, which aligns with Clingan’s value. He certainly isn’t a must-add, but deep-league managers should not overlook Walker while the Blazers remain without Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams III.

Avdija aggravated the quad injury he suffered during Portland’s February 26 game against the Wizards and will not return to Wednesday’s game. He logged 23 minutes before exiting, finishing with 12 points, six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one three-pointer. Avdija’s absence has led to fellow starters Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe playing more minutes, and Scoot Henderson will have added value if Deni misses time.

After sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Bulls for rest reasons, Mobley is back in the Cavaliers’ lineup. His return means De’Andre Hunter heads to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a slight hit. He should still be rostered in some 12-team leagues.

Grant is set to miss his fourth-straight game with tendinitis in his right knee. Shaedon Sharpe figures to continue to start in Grant’s place, and Sharpe has consistently had good performances when the Trail Blazers are missing a starter.

Garland struggled from inside the arc on Tuesday, making two of his 11 attempts. He was far more accurate from deep, shooting 5-of-11 from three. Overall, shooting has been an issue for Garland since the break. Ranked just outside the top 150 in nine-cat formats, he’s made 32.9 percent of his attempts from the field. Fantasy managers need Garland to turn things around with the playoffs either underway or on the horizon in most leagues.

With sidekick Evan Mobley (rest) getting the night off, Allen produced a masterclass in the Windy City. The 17 rebounds were three shy of his season-high, and this was the Cavaliers center’s third game with at least 20 points and 15 rebounds. With Cleveland hosting Miami on Wednesday, it’s possible that Allen and Mobley will switch roles, with the former getting a night off. If so, Jarrett would still have two more opportunities to play during Week 18.

Mitchell returned to the Cavaliers’ lineup after getting Sunday afternoon off and made good use of the foul line in Chicago. The six-time All-Star attempted a season-high 14 free throws, which helped compensate for a 1-of-7 night from three. While Mitchell has only been a sixth-round player since the All-Star break, the only concern for fantasy managers is Cleveland’s lead atop the East. At this rate, the stars may get additional rest time as the team prepares for the postseason.

Mitchell returns after sitting out Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers for rest reasons. However, Hunter will remain in the starting lineup, as Evan Mobley is getting the night off. Since joining the Cavaliers via trade, Hunter has provided solid value and is worth streaming in standard leagues.

Simons shot 13-of-26 from the floor and a blistering 6-of-11 from beyond the arc to account for his game-leading point total. He added four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes. Simons has now scored at least 25 points in four of his last six, and he’s drained at least three triples in that span. He’ll look to stay hot when the Blazers visit the Celtics on Wednesday.

Clingan drew an eighth-straight start with Deandre Ayton and Robert Williams on the sideline. The rookie’s production has been a mixed bag, and Monday’s 13/13 line was his first double-double since February 12 and just his fourth of the season. The points and rebounds might be erratic, but he’s averaged 7.4 points, 9.5 boards and 2.4 swats across 18 starts, making him a worthwhile streaming option while he’s running with the first unit.

Allen provided a modest point total on Sunday, but the Cavaliers center finished with his 33rd double-double. Allen’s fantasy value has taken a hit since the All-Star break, as he has only been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats. However, while Evan Mobley continues to emerge as an elite option on both ends of the floor, Allen’s fantasy value has not fallen off a cliff. A sixth-round player for the season, he can crack the top-50 before the season concludes.

Starting in place of Donovan Mitchell (rest), Hunter did not provide much value during the first half of Sunday’s game, going scoreless with one shot attempt. That changed after the halftime break, as Hunter ripped off 28 points in the second half and overtime to help Cleveland extend its win streak to 10 games. Rostered in 39 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Hunter provides late-round value in 12-team formats, but that’s his ceiling due to the limited production outside of points, rebounds and three-pointers. And with Mitchell likely back for Tuesday’s game in Chicago, Hunter should be headed back to the bench.

With Donovan Mitchell (rest) out, Jerome stepped up for the Cavaliers despite coming off the bench. He’s scored 19 points or more in three of his last four outings and is ranked just outside the top 50 in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. Rostered in 21 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Jerome hasn’t reached Payton Pritchard territory regarding fantasy value. However, he’s headed in the right direction.

Mobley has scored at least 17 points in six straight and nine of his last 10 games. He has also been Cleveland’s most valuable fantasy option since the All-Star break, providing second-round value in eight-cat formats. Thanks partly to Mobley’s efforts, the Cavaliers became the first team to reach 50 wins this season. Cleveland plays four games during Week 18, starting with the Bulls on Tuesday.

In addition to shooting the ball well in Cleveland, the second-year wing racked up fantasy value with his steals. He has recorded at least one steal in 13 straight games, continuing to establish himself as one of the NBA’s better defenders. Since the All-Star break, Camara has provided top-15 value in eight-cat formats. With Portland playing four games during Week 18, he should be rostered in more than 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

While he didn’t shoot the ball efficiently, Simons has now scored 25 points or more in three of his last five outings. Despite shooting 40.4 percent from the field, the Blazers guard has been a top 100 player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. The lingering question for Simons managers: will there come a point when the Blazers decide to shut him down? The door isn’t completely closed on the final play-in spot in the West, but Sunday’s defeat dropped Portland to five games behind Dallas in the loss column.

Avdija was outstanding in Cleveland, shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording his first career triple-double. While he has only been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, the Blazers wing is a must-roster player at this stage. Avdija has an even higher ceiling when the Blazers are shorthanded, as they were on Sunday when they played without Jerami Grant. Portland plays four games during Week 18, starting with the 76ers on Monday.

Deni Avdija will replace Kris Murray in the starting lineup against Cleveland. The rest of Portland’s starters will remain the same from their previous game.

Mobley has recorded a double-double in five of his last seven games, providing top-20 value in eight-cat formats. During this run, he has averaged 19.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 0.9 steals, 2.3 blocks and 1.0 three-pointers per game. First-year head coach Kenny Atkinson has unlocked Mobley, and the results have been fantastic. He earned his first All-Star Game appearance, and given the names of some players ineligible for postseason honors, Mobley making an All-NBA team wouldn’t be far-fetched.

With Boston scoring 17 of the game’s first 19 points, Cleveland appeared to be in danger of getting run out of the TD Garden. Not only did the Cavaliers avoid getting blown out, but they won the game for one of their most impressive results of the season. And Mitchell was front and center, dropping in a season-high 41 points. He did so efficiently, shooting 50 percent from the field and only recording two turnovers. Mitchell and the Cavaliers return home for their final game of Week 17, Sunday afternoon against Portland.

Back in the lineup after missing two games with a left hip contusion, Garland had a solid night as a scorer and distributor. However, if he has had an issue recently, it has been the field-goal percentage. Over the past three weeks, he’s shot just 39.5 percent from the field, nearly ten points lower than his mark for the season (49.1). Garland is still providing top 40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats; fantasy managers don’t have much to worry about as the fantasy trade deadline approaches.

Camara continues to produce for the Trail Blazers, who needed it Friday without Jerami Grant and Deni Avdija in the starting lineup.

The 21-year-old shooting guard has consistently stepped up his scoring output when the Trail Blazers are missing starters this year and it was the same story against the Nets.
