Henderson has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, his most productive scoring run of the season to date. While he was responsible for five turnovers, the overall production helps compensate for that. Henderson doesn’t bring much to the table defensively, and the field-goal percentage remains low, limiting his value in category leagues. To this point in his career, Scoot has been more valuable in points leagues.

Finishing with his 27th double-double of the season, Clingan also provided excellent value in the blocked shots category. The six rejections were a season-high for the second-year center, and two shy of his career-high. Since the All-Star break, Clingan has been a second-round player in fantasy basketball, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (90) by a significant distance. He’ll look to end Week 20 on a high note when Portland visits Philadelphia on Sunday.

Since the All-Star break, Holiday has scored at least 19 points in eight of the 11 games that he’s played. He had an excellent night against the Jazz, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and providing good value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Portland still has another game in Week 20, as they visit the 76ers on Sunday. Even more enticing for those who have Holiday rostered is that Portland opens its Week 21 with a game against the lottery-bound Nets on Monday.

Williams’ absence frees up minutes on the back end of the Trail Blazers’ rotation for Yang Hansen, who will slot in as the backup center. That isn’t enough to make the rookie worth the risk in redraft leagues, but he should be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Williams is on the report for injury management reasons, which could mean a return to the rotation for Yang Hansen. The rookie has been recalled from the Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate and is officially active. Hansen should only be rostered in dynasty leagues, and there would be no need to place him into active lineups if the Time Lord sits.

Having shot 9-of-20 from the field in his prior two games, Knueppel cleaned up his shooting in Wednesday’s victory. The rookie knocked down five of his eight three-point attempts and was perfect at the foul line. Since the All-Star break, Knueppel has averaged nearly 21 points per game while shooting 51.2 percent from the field. He’s been right there with Cooper Flagg in the race for Rookie of the Year, and some would argue that Knueppel should be the favorite.

Miller has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and Wednesday’s stat line had everything but a blocked shot. Since the All-Star break, the Hornets wing has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP by a few rounds. Not only has Miller’s improved production benefited fantasy managers, but it’s one reason why the Hornets are in contention for a playoff spot in the East.

Bridges entered Wednesday’s game in a shooting slump, averaging 11.8 points per game on 30.8 percent shooting from the field over his last five games. To say he needed a night like Wednesday would be an understatement. The 26 points were the most Bridges has scored in a game since February 7, when he hit that number in a win over the Hawks. He’ll look to finish Week 20 on a high note when the Hornets visit the Spurs on Saturday.

Ball was one of four Hornets starters to score at least 20 points in Tuesday’s victory, with the point guard producing his first 30-point game since a February 22 win over the Wizards.

Clingan has recorded a double-double in two of his last three games and has at least 11 rebounds in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old center also made his impact felt on the defensive end with a steal and three blocks. Clingan has played under 30 minutes in four consecutive games, which has been a drag on his fantasy value lately.

Avdija returned from a back injury with 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Pacers. The story was similar Tuesday against the Hornets as he had 22 points, though the Trail Blazers lost. Avdija played 34 minutes Tuesday after playing 25 on Sunday, which is certainly a positive development as he’s now seemingly over his back injury. The Trail Blazers have two more games this week and Avdija should be available for both of them.

Miller had at least 22 points for the second time in his last three games. The 23-year-old small forward also grabbed nine rebounds, coming one shy of a double-double.

Bridges’ scoring output has decreased since the All-Star break, and his season-long fantasy value has suffered. Including Sunday’s performance, he’s averaged 12.6 points per game on 40 percent shooting since the break. Add in Bridges shooting 66.7 percent from the field and limited production in assists, steals and blocks, and his post-break value sits well outside the top-100. Bridges should still be rostered in most leagues regardless of format, but fantasy managers hope he can turn things around in Week 20.

One game removed from dropping 27 points in a loss to the Heat, Knueppel was limited to 15 on Sunday. One subpar performance doesn’t erase the overall body of work, and the rookie remains one of the best first-year players in fantasy basketball. Knueppel will look to rebound when the Hornets visit the Trail Blazers on Tuesday, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 20.

For the first time since the All-Star break, Ball has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games. While he shot 4-of-12 from beyond the arc, the overall efficiency was good. Ball shot just under 50 percent from the field and kept the turnovers in check, committing two. The Hornets continue their road trip with three games in Week 20, starting with a back-to-back against the Trail Blazers and Kings on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup after a six-game absence, Avdija started and played 25 minutes on Sunday. Given the time off and how long his lower back injury has lingered, the Trail Blazers weren’t going to take any risks with the All-Star wing. Avdija missed all four of his three-point attempts, but fantasy managers can work with the rebounds, assists and blocks. Portland’s three-game Week 20 concludes with a back-to-back that extends into Week 21, so Avdija may be limited to two appearances.

Holiday was one of three Trail Blazers to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, with Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant being the others.

Grant may not have done much in the rebound category, an unsurprising development for him, but he compensated for that with excellent production in other areas.

After struggling in two spot starts, Henderson returned to the bench on Sunday due to Deni Avdija’s return from a back injury. And the shift to his usual role may have done Scoot some good. The third-year guard recorded his first 20-point game of the season, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field. Also notable about Henderson’s complete stat line was his lack of turnovers. He didn’t commit any in Sunday’s victory, a major step in the right direction for the Trail Blazers guard. Portland plays three games in Week 20, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.
