Bey is expected to miss a sixth straight game. Trey Murphy (back) returned to the lineup for Friday’s game, so he filled the open starting spot left by Bey. Zion Williamson returned to the starting lineup when Bey first was sidelined, and he will likely remain in that role even after Bey returns.

Avdija was just 5-of-15 from the field in this one, but made all eight of his free throws on his way to 20 points. The 25-year-old small forward has scored at least 20 points in nine of his last 10 games. Avdija is providing fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. While his rebounds were down Friday, he’s still a threat to have a triple-double against the Knicks Sunday.

Sharpe wasn’t very efficient with 20 points on 22 field goal attempts, but he also pulled down eight rebounds and had five assists without turning the over the ball over. The 22-year-old shooting guard has had at least 20 points in four of his last five games. Sharpe has provided just 15th-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll have one more chance to put up points this week Sunday against the Knicks.

Camara is averaging 12.8 points per game this year and had had at least 20 points in just one of his last six games entering play Friday. He wasted no time dropping 16 points in the first quarter. The 25-year-old small forward went off for a career-high 25 points on 16 attempts, including five made threes. Camara has provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out the week against the Knicks on Sunday.

While Williams missed a few games earlier this month due to left knee injury management, the right knee was the reason for his early exit on Friday. His departure means rotation minutes for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, but neither would be worth streaming going forward since starter Donovan Clingan is healthy.

On the heels of a sublime 42-point performance against the Lakers earlier this week, Murphy stayed sizzling-hot with his sixth 30-point effort to help the Pelicans snap a nine-game losing streak dating back to December 23. Murphy and teammate Zion Williamson combined for 34 first-half points and 66 on the night overall as the Wizards seemed to have zero answers defensively. The 25-year-old scoring forward erupted for 15 first-half points on 5-of-12 shooting, including 4-of-9 from three-point range, and finished the night 7-of-16 from long range. He’s delivered first-round fantasy value this season, averaging 21.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.2 blocks through 36 games. The Pelicans return to action on Sunday with a road matchup against the Magic.

Williamson went 8-of-9 from the floor to post a game-high 19 first-half points. The polarizing 25-year-old force and teammate Trey Murphy combined for a whopping 66 points in an eventual one-sided victory. It would’ve been an even bigger scoring night had he not missed six of his 13 free-throw attempts. He’s averaging 25 points over his last eight games but doesn’t offer much else from a fantasy perspective besides scoring upside.

Queen’s phenomenal rookie campaign continued with his second triple-double performance as he posted double-digit boards for the third straight contest. The 21-year-old big man remains a work in progress but he’s shown flashes of big-time fantasy potential thanks to his all-around skillset.

Alvarado appeared to tweak something during Tuesday’s loss to the Lakers, but he was still on the floor in crunch time.

Camara had another well-rounded performance in Wednesday’s win, despite shooting inefficiently from beyond the arc. He made all of his two-point shots, finished statistically as one of the best rebounders and facilitators on the team, and was the only Trail Blazer to record multiple blocks and steals. His fantasy ceiling isn’t sky-high, but he’s proven to be more than capable of streaming together similar stat lines as a nice two-way wing.

Sharpe was one of two Trail Blazers to score at least 20 points in the victory. Three-point shooting almost amounted to half of his scoring total, and his trio of assists was tied for second most on the team. Sharpe didn’t have much production elsewhere from a statistical standpoint, but his scoring was enough to leave him with at least a solid night’s worth of production.

Avdija hit the 40-point mark for the first time all season on Wednesday to continue with what’s been an outstanding start to the calendar year. Through four games in 2026, Avdija’s lowest scoring total was a 29-point outing against the Spurs, which resulted in a triple-double. He’s gone for 30 or more points in three of the last four games and has remained a triple-double threat on a nightly basis. He’ll have an opportunity to be effective against the Rockets again on Friday.

McGowens was able to take on a larger role with both Trey Murphy (back) and Herb Jones (ankle) sidelined. He didn’t get the chance to start, but he played a season-high 37 minutes off the bench. He didn’t contribute much in other categories, but if Murphy and Jones remain out in Washington on Friday, McGowens will hold some streaming upside in deeper leagues.

Zion was held to just 15 points against the Lakers on Tuesday, and while he was more productive in this game, he still wasn’t able to contribute enough to end this losing streak. Williamson scored at least 30 points in three straight games when he returned to the starting lineup, but in the three games since then, he has averaged 16.3 points. Still, he’s healthy and available, and he has been playing in back-to-backs, which is great to see from him.

With Trey Murphy and Herb Jones sidelined against Atlanta, Poole returned to the starting lineup. He wasn’t efficient as a scorer, but he was able to pour in the points, mostly from beyond the arc, and contribute defensively. This came after he was held scoreless against the Lakers on Tuesday. Poole is one of the most volatile players in the league, but if he is able to start again in his return to Washington on Friday, he may be able to have another big scoring night.

After ripping off a streak of three consecutive games with at least 30 points, Williamson has totaled 27 over his last two appearances. The points tally on Tuesday was negatively affected by a 1-of-5 night from the foul line; not just the percentage, but the attempts as well. The good news for fantasy managers is that Williamson tallied five assists, the most in a game for him since December 26. He’s offered top-100 value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, and the emergence of Derik Queen may have lowered Zion’s ceiling due to a decrease in on-ball playmaking opportunities.

Queen finished Tuesday’s defeat two assists shy of his second triple-double, pushing his double-double tally up to seven. While the production has tailed off somewhat after a hot start to December, the rookie center is still offering top-100 per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 53 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Queen is someone who 10-team league managers should look to add now if he’s on the waiver wire. His usage should be even higher after the trade deadline, especially if the Pelicans can’t make some headway in the race for a play-in spot.

A fantasy league would rarely have three-point percentage as a scoring category. Therefore, Murphy only making six of his 17 attempts isn’t an issue. He shot 8-of-9 from inside the arc and matched that at the foul line, finishing with a career-high 42 points. Murphy was at his best during the third quarter, as he scored 20. As long as he’s healthy, Murphy will remain an elite fantasy wing, regardless of league format.

Coming off arguably his worst performance of the season, Sharpe bounced back in a big way in this blowout victory. Sharpe’s been a high-level scorer, and he’s averaging a career high in steals, but his value in category leagues has been limited by a lack of production in other categories. However, that wasn’t the case in this game, and he was more efficient than he has typically been this year. This was an excellent outing, but it’s also one that Sharpe likely won’t be able to make happen often.

Clingan dominated early on in this game and entered the halftime break with a double-double. This was his third straight double-double, and he has one in five of his last six games. However, it’s the deep-range shooting that has been the real revelation. He hit a total of 14 triples as a rookie, but he has five over his last two games and 12 over his last seven. Clingan doesn’t need to become a true stretch five, but if he can space the floor, it will continue to open up the offense for Portland.

Avdija’s dominant first half helped Portland take a 21-point lead into halftime. He had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists entering the break. He didn’t add much after that, but he didn’t need to for the Blazers to get the win. Turnovers and poor percentages have limited Avdija’s value in category leagues, but those haven’t been as severe an issue over his last three games. He’ll look to keep it going against the Rockets on Wednesday.

Camara isn’t an elite three-point shooter, but he has upped his production in that category. The Trail Blazers’ wing has hit multiple three-pointers in six straight and nine of his last ten appearances. However, Camara’s percentages have decreased, as has the defensive production. For those reasons, he’s ranked outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.
