Grant hasn’t played since March 27 as he’s dealt with a calf strain. The 32-year-old power forward is questionable, which at least gives him a chance of suiting up for Tuesday’s game against the Suns. If Grant is out again, Scoot Henderson should start again for the Trail Blazers.

Strawther had almost a repeat performance of his game in the win over the Thunder on Friday. The 23-year-old small forward started, led the Nuggets with 34 minutes, dropped 20 points and hit four three-pointers. Sound familiar? Strawther is likely to be just a depth option as the Nuggets head into the playoffs.

Jokić finished the regular season averaging 27.7 points, 12.9 rebounds and 10.7 assists as he became the first player in league history to lead the league in rebounds and assists in the same season. The 31-year-old center only played 18 minutes, but still had 23 points and eight rebounds in the win over the Spurs. The Nuggets head into the playoffs as the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Holiday wasn’t particularly efficient, but still had a nice game in the non-shooting categories. The 35-year-old guard is just outside the top-100 in per game value this season. Holiday added one block on the defensive end, which is where he could have his biggest impact for the Trail Blazers in the Play-In Tournament.

Avdija finished the regular season with another excellent game in the win over the Kings on Sunday. The 25-year-old power forward was just four rebounds shy of a triple-double. Avdija also had 25 points and five three-pointers. He finished the season in the top-80 in per game value and will lead Portland as they head into the Play-In tournament.

Thybulle sprained his right ankle during the first half of Friday’s win over the Clippers but returned after halftime. The probable tag suggests that he’ll be cleared to play in a game that the Trail Blazers need to win to secure the No. 8 seed in the West. A loss combined with a Clippers win over the Warriors would drop Portland to the No. 9 seed.

Gordon and Hardaway getting additional recovery time ahead of the playoffs is far more impactful on the Nuggets’ rotation than Jones’ continued absence with a strained hamstring.

Jokić needs to play at least 15 minutes in Sunday’s game to be eligible for postseason awards. So, even with the questionable tag, fantasy managers in active leagues should assume that the three-time MVP will play. However, don’t expect Jokić to play starters’ minutes since the Nuggets other key contributors all sidelined.

Clingan has been excellent in the regular season’s final week as he’s had a double-double and three three-pointers in all three games so far. The 22-year-old provided fourth-round per game value this season. With his improved outside shooting, Clingan and the Trail Blazers have some positive momentum heading into the Western Conference playoffs.

Towards the end of a season where he dealt with a back injury, Avdija is finishing strong with at least 26 points in each of his last five games. His 35 points were a game-high in the victory over the Clippers on Friday. Avdija provided eighth-round per game value this season, which could’ve been even better if not for his struggles with turnovers.

Thybulle tweaked something in his right foot before limping to the locker room in the first half. The Trail Blazers called him questionable to return at halftime, but now Thybulle is available to return. The 29-year-old small forward had three steals and two blocks in nine first half minutes.

Thybulle was everywhere on defense with three steals and two blocks in nine minutes off the bench in the first half, but tweaked something in his right foot and came up limping.

Strawther moved into the starting lineup along with the other reserves and had a pretty good game against the Thunder on Friday. The 23-year-old shooting guard had 22 points and four three-pointers. Strawther led the Nuggets with 34 minutes and could see a similar workload in the season finale against the Spurs on Sunday.

Murray is one of several key Nuggets starters to show up on Thursday’s injury report as questionable.

Whether Gordon plays on Friday is to be determined. In an injury-filled season for the veteran forward, he’s averaging 16.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.

While the scoring output was modest, Clingan finished Wednesday’s defeat with his 35th double-double of the season, more than triple his 2024-25 tally of eight. And his improvements as a perimeter shooter have major ramifications for the 7-foot-2 center’s fantasy value going forward. While an average of 1.1 three-pointers per game isn’t much, Clingan has made more three-pointers this season (80) than he attempted during his entire rookie campaign (49). He made three of five attempts against the Spurs and is 6-of-11 over his last two games.

Henderson has scored in double figures in five straight and nine of his last ten appearances. However, he has shot just 40.6 percent from the field during this stretch. That, especially the three-point shooting, is an area where Henderson will need to make strides ahead of the 2026-27 season. And with Damian Lillard (Achilles) re-entering the fray, getting the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball will become more challenging for Henderson.

While Camara’s three-point percentage for the season is on par with his 2024-25 mark, he has been far more willing to attempt those shots. Entering Wednesday with an average of 7.2 three-point attempts per game, the Trail Blazers forward attempted eight against the Spurs. And in three games this month, Camara has shot 18-of-33 from deep. A win over the Clippers on Friday would keep Portland’s hopes of grabbing the eighth seed alive; they need two wins and the Clippers to go 0-2 over the final two games. To get that done, they’ll need Camara to continue to shoot the ball as well as he has recently.

Scoring-wise, Avdija had a good night, finishing with a true shooting percentage of 63.7 percent. However, six turnovers countered the six assists, and that category has been an issue for him at times this season. Avdija has undoubtedly been one of the NBA’s most improved players, but with increased usage has come a sharp increase in turnovers. Heading into the final two games of the regular season, he is averaging a career-high 3.9 turnovers per game. Avdija will need to clean that up heading into the postseason.

Johnson was one of several Nuggets players to produce on the offensive end against the Grizzlies. Specifically, he was one of eight to finish with double-digit points, utilizing efficient shooting from beyond the arc and success inside the three-point line to conclude as the team’s second-leading scorer. After a slow start to the season regarding three-point shooting, Johnson has really picked it up and turned in an efficient season. His scoring uptick in April could prove to be valuable with the playoffs just around the corner.

Wednesday marked the fourth consecutive game that Murray has tallied at least three triples, and was the fourth time in the last seven games he’s drained five or more. More than at any other point in his career, the three-point shot has become an incredible weapon — Murray is posting career-highs in makes and percentage, which has led to the highest scoring season of his career. He finished the night as Denver’s leader in scoring and should enter the postseason with lots of positive momentum.

Jokić didn’t look for his shot much on Wednesday, taking fewer than 10 shot attempts for the game. He made most of his attempts and was productive enough at the free-throw line to work his way into double figures as a scorer. However, his game-high 15 rebounds and 10 assists were arguably the more impressive stats on this night. Jokić is averaging a triple-double on the season for the second consecutive season. He’ll have a chance at collecting another MVP award.

Avdija secured a second straight 26-point outing on Monday. As usual, the free-throw line was his friend. However, he struggled from the field and gave the ball away four times.

Holiday was one of Portland’s best offensive weapons on Monday. From a scoring standpoint, his three-point shooting led the way, but his ability to set the table for guys around him was also impressive. The veteran NBA champion didn’t have any defensive stats. However, he’s still arguably one of the better defensive guards in the league, and he’s bounced back with Portland after a lesser role and lower-producing final season in Boston. He’ll remain in a big role down the stretch of the regular season with the Blazers battling for Play-In Tournament seeding.

Camara recorded another 30-point outing on Monday, marking his third of the season. Similar to the previous games, the three-point shot was a major factor — he led all players in makes.

Gordon was one of Denver’s better performers on Monday.
