Walker and Butler will both move into the starting lineup with Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) and Andre Drummond (illness) sitting. This will be Butler’s second start of the season, while Walker will make his first start of the year after contributing 25 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in Sunday’s win.

Drummond did not play in the second half of Sunday’s win over the Jazz and will not play on Monday night. Adem Bona, who recorded his first double-double and a career-high five blocks, could be the replacement in the starting lineup. The 76ers can also go small, shifting Guerschon Yabusele to the five, but Bona would still experience an increase in playing time.

The 34-year-old small forward will be re-evaluated Friday, which would be the earliest he could return now. Justin Edwards will likely continue to start with George sidelined.

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. Grant’s absence may also guarantee Kris Murray rotation minutes after picking up a DNP-CD on Sunday, but that isn’t guaranteed. There’s no need to roster Murray.

Avdija has missed the last two games after he re-aggravated his quad injury against the Celtics last Wednesday. The 24-year-old small forward at least has a chance to play Monday given his questionable listing. Shaedon Sharpe would once again see additional minutes and usage if Avdija is out again.

Maxey will miss a fourth-straight game, which means more run for the likes of Justin Edwards, Quentin Grimes and Lonnie Walker IV. If Drummond can’t go, the Sixers could turn to Adem Bona to start at center. Bona finished with 14 points and 15 boards across 32 minutes in Sunday’s win over Utah.

Maxey has missed Philadelphia’s last three games with a lower back sprain and has also been dealing with a lingering finger injury. However, a return to the court may not be far away, as the 76ers guard went through an on-court workout before Sunday’s win over the Jazz. Justin Edwards will likely head to the bench if Maxey can play in Atlanta.

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.

Grimes continues leading the way for the undermanned 76ers, scoring 25 points or more in three of his last five outings. Since the All-Star break, he has provided top-75 value in eight-cat formats. And on nights when the 76ers are without Tyrese Maxey and Paul George, as was the case Sunday, Grimes spends more time on the ball as a primary playmaker. He’s rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, a percentage that should increase before Philadelphia’s four-game Week 19.

Walker, who grew up in Reading, Pennsylvania, put on a show Sunday night. The former first-round pick tallied season-highs in points, rebounds, and assists and helped lead the 76ers to a win. With Tyrese Maxey and Paul George dealing with injuries, Walker will have more opportunities before the season concludes. One good night doesn’t automatically make him a player worth adding for Philadelphia’s four-game Week 19, but he should be on the streaming radar for managers competing in deep leagues.

With Andre Drummond hampered by an illness, Bona had the best game of his rookie campaign on Sunday. In addition to recording his first double-double, the second-round pick established career-highs in points (14), rebounds (14), steals (two) and blocked shots (five) tonight. Drummond only played 10 minutes, finishing with six points, two rebounds and one blocked shot. With Joel Embiid (knee) done for the season, Bona’s playing time should increase as the 76ers attempt to improve their chances of holding onto their top-six protected first-round pick.

Sunday’s game against the Jazz will be Lowry’s 11th on the shelf in a row, increasing to 12 on Monday. However, 76ers coach Nick Nurse said his veteran point guard is feeling better, so the team will look to begin the ramp-up process then. With the 76ers trending toward prioritizing doing what it can to hold onto its first-round pick (top-6 protected), Lowry’s minutes may be limited even if he’s cleared to return.

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.

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.

Oubre Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV (17 points, five triples) were the lone bright spots for the Sixers in an otherwise putrid performance. Philly’s other four starters combined for just 33 points, and Philly dropped its 41st game in blowout fashion. With the Sixers already looking ahead to next season, we’re unlikely to see much of Tyrese Maxey or Paul George for the rest of the campaign, which means Oubre Jr. could see big minutes and usage down the stretch. The games might not mean anything for the Sixers in real life, but Oubre Jr. could post meaningful numbers for fantasy managers during “silly season.”

He also added a rebound and three assists. Has Walker IV officially entered the “silly season” conversation? The Sixers are 20 games under .500, Joel Embiid is done for the season, and Tyrese Maxey and Paul George are shutdown candidates. Philadelphia will need to lean on guys like Walker IV to fill in the missing spots in the lineup, so don’t rule out that he could make some noise as a points and threes specialist for the final stretch of the season. A resurgent end of season run for Walker IV would certainly be an interesting topic for Paul George’s podcast.

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.

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.

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.

Yabusele remained in the starting lineup for a second-straight game, and he had to spend a lot of his time at center. Andre Drummond was limited to 19 minutes because of foul trouble, which forced the 76ers to rely on Yabusele even more.

After missing Monday’s game due to an illness, Oubre was able to pick up where he left off in his last appearance.

After an off-night as a shooter on Monday, Grimes got back to providing buckets on Tuesday. His performance on Monday was disappointing after he dropped a career-high 44 points on Saturday, but Tuesday’s performance was the third time that he has scored at least 30 points in a game this season, all of which have come since being traded to the 76ers. Trading away Grimes wasn’t the worst move Nico Harrison has made, but it is looking like Philadelphia got a steal by acquiring him. Grimes should be one of their few bright spots down the stretch of this season.

Philadelphia’s pick is top-six protected, meaning they need to lose as much as possible to ensure they get their first-round pick. George should be considered a shutdown candidate at this point.
