While Simons has not missed a game since January 19, Williams has been out for Portland’s last 11 with a lingering knee injury. The former’s availability is more impactful on the rotation, as Scoot Henderson would move into the starting lineup. As for the Time Lord, his continued absence would mean more minutes for Duop Reath.

Walker remains in the league’s concussion protocol and will not be available for Sunday’s game. His absence means more rotation minutes for Duop Reath, especially if Robert Williams remains out with a knee injury. If Williams can play, there wouldn’t be much to gain from streaming Reath in most leagues.

An error on the Thunder injury report led some to believe he had a chance of playing on Saturday. That is not the case; he will remain sidelined with a strained right hip. Provided he’s available, Aaron Wiggins should stay in the starting lineup as long as Williams is out. He is questionable for Saturday’s game due to illness.

Caruso is available after an illness sidelined him for Wednesday’s win over the Celtics. Kenrich Williams played additional minutes off the bench, with Isaiah Joe also experiencing a slight increase in playing time. While both may remain in the rotation with Caruso available, neither needs to be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

After scoring 21 points on 7-of-21 shooting in losses to the Pistons and Warriors, Sharpe was better against the Knicks. Over the past two weeks, he has made 46.7 percent of his attempts from the field. However, improved rebound and assist production have been difference-makers for Sharpe recently. He’s averaging 6.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, which is why he’s been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. And with Jerami Grant’s inconsistent availability, Sharpe should continue to log starters’ minutes during the stretch run.

Avdija appeared to make the most critical play of Wednesday’s game, as his three-point play with 3.4 seconds remaining in overtime gave Portland a two-point lead. Unfortunately for him, Mikal Bridges’ three as time expired was the difference. Avdija has scored 25 points or more in three of his last five appearances and has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 77 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’ll be worth a look in shallow leagues ahead of Portland’s final Week 19 game on Sunday. Also, the Blazers play four games during Week 20.

Henderson was outstanding on Wednesday, recording his second 30-point game of the season and doing so efficiently. While the second-year guard’s game isn’t “fantasy-friendly” for those competing in category leagues, he is more valuable in points leagues. And with Henderson playing 37 minutes to starting guard Anfernee Simons’ 31, he’s worth the risk during the fantasy playoffs. Simons, who only played 11 minutes in the third and fourth quarters, finished with six points, four rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers.

While the Time Lord was made available for Wednesday’s game after a 10-game absence, he did not see any action. Duop Reath (six points, two rebounds, one assist, one steal, three blocks and two three-pointers in 19 minutes) handled the backup center responsibilities behind Donovan Clingan. Jabari Walker’s upcoming concussion tests will also impact the available minutes for future games, but Williams offers limited upside due to the injury concerns.

Thybulle was available to make his season debut on Wednesday after missing time with an ankle injury but did not see any action. Blazers coach Chauncey Billups stuck with a nine-man rotation, with Kris Murray (three points, two rebounds and four steals) playing 15 minutes off the bench. Even if Thybulle enters the rotation, he’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball this season.

Walker exited Wednesday’s game during the third quarter after taking an inadvertent Karl-Anthony Towns elbow to the jaw.

Thybulle hasn’t been available to suit up for a game yet this season, but there is a chance he makes his debut against New York. It has been almost a full calendar year since Thybulle played, so he will likely be on a strict minutes restriction for the rest of this season. It will be great to see him back on the floor, but he isn’t a player to consider rostering in fantasy basketball.

What a game. Avdija, who hadn’t played in two games since he re-aggravated his quad injury last week, couldn’t be stopped against the Warriors Monday. The 24-year-old small forward poured in a game-high 34 points on 15 shots including five 3-pointers. Avdija was also a monster on the glass pulling down 16 rebounds. To top it off, he also dished out six assists. Avdija also played a game-high 41 minutes, showing he’s over the quad injury if his stat line didn’t already give that away.

Simons has now had at least 30 points in four of his last five games. The 25-year-old shooting guard now has 38 career 30-point games, including eight this season. Simons has established himself as a prolific scorer in the league. The only question for him over the course of the rest of the season is if the Trail Blazers opt to shut him down or at least give him regular rest days.

Oklahoma City had both of its starting big men available for Monday’s game, the team’s second in as many days. However, neither Hartenstein nor Chet Holmgren (8/4/1/0/2) played more than 30 minutes in the rematch with the Nuggets. Given how far ahead of the competition the Thunder are in the Western Conference, it would be unsurprising if the team took steps to rest some of its key players ahead of the postseason. As long as Hartenstein and Holmgren are on the court, fantasy managers will receive solid value from both on most nights.

After going off for 40 points in Sunday’s win over the Nuggets, Gilgeous-Alexander was held in check in Monday’s rematch. However, the stat line SGA recorded wasn’t bad; he provided good value in his 36 minutes on the court. A pedestrian night for Gilgeous-Alexander is an excellent one for most of the NBA’s other players, which indicates how good he’s been this season. SGA remains the betting favorite for Most Valuable Player, with Nikola Jokic being his closest competition.

Dort was hot from beyond the arc on Monday, shooting 8-of-8 with the eight makes being a career-high. As for the 26 points, that was his highest tally of the season. Dort hasn’t been the most reliable shooter, but he has made strides this season. That progress will be tested if the Thunder are forced to play without Jalen Williams, who exited Monday’s game with a strained right hip. Oklahoma City plays three more games during Week 19, starting with the Celtics on Wednesday in Boston.

Williams suffered a strained right hip during the first half of Monday’s game and will not return. He logged 14 minutes, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer.

Monday’s game is the second in as many nights for Portland, which lost to the Pistons on Sunday. Grant is trending toward not playing, which would ensure Shaedon Sharpe a place in the starting lineup, even if Deni Avdija returns from his quad injury.

Camara did not provide much value as a scorer, which is a departure from what he’s done since the All-Star break. However, he spent most of Sunday’s game harassing Cade Cunningham, who committed eight turnovers. Improved offensively, Camara has established himself as one of the NBA’s best defenders. He has also been more of an asset to fantasy managers than expected, providing top-100 value in nine-cat formats. Since the break, Camara has been ranked just outside the top-50. The only reason his rostership percentage of 51 percent of Yahoo! leagues is deserved is because of Portland’s schedule. The Blazers play 10 games during weeks 19-21.

Grant had a good night from beyond the arc, shooting 6-of-11, and the 25 points are the most he’s scored in a game since December 13. The issue for fantasy managers is that, on most nights, Grant provides minimal value in the other fantasy-relevant categories. And with the veteran forward shooting 37.3 percent from the field since the All-Star break, he has been a net-negative outside of points leagues. Add in Portland’s poor playoff schedule, and there isn’t much to gain from having Grant in lineups.

Simons recorded his 37th career 30-point game on Sunday, moving his tally to seven for the season. Having met or exceeded that number in three of his last four outings, the Trail Blazers guard has provided top-40 value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. And Simons’ value since the All-Star break has been two rounds higher than he’s provided fantasy managers for the season. The question is whether Portland management will let Simons and the other veterans “run through the tape” and play out the season. However, the Blazers have one of the worst fantasy playoff schedules, as they only play 10 games during Weeks 19-21 and 11 during Weeks 20-22.

Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein (10 points, 11 rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes) returned to the Thunder after sitting out Friday’s win over Portland, and both were effective. While the latter recorded his 23rd double-double of the season, Holmgren has blocked at least three shots in 11 games. The second-year forward/center has been a top-25 player since the All-Star break, but availability remains a lingering concern. Holmgren should be considered questionable for Monday’s rematch with the Nuggets, as he hasn’t played both games of a back-to-back since returning from a fractured hip in early February.

While Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will get the headlines, and rightfully so, Williams is in the midst of the most productive stretch of his career. He’s scored 20 points or more in a career-high seven straight games, and the overall production has made him a fantasy standout. Since the All-Star break, Williams has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. While a wrist injury kept Williams out of Friday’s win over Portland, he did play both games of Oklahoma City’s most recent back-to-back. Hopefully, he’ll be available for Monday’s rematch with the Nuggets.

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.
