For the fifth time in his career, Sharpe was able to score 30 points in a game, with four of those coming this season. This also ended up being the third double-double of his career. The 21-year-old has shown plenty of flashes through his first three seasons in the league, and he has really taken advantage of this recent stretch with Jerami Grant (knee) out of the lineup, which has allowed Sharpe to start. Grant hasn’t played a game in April since 2021, and that is unlikely to change this season, which means Sharpe’s spot should be safe for the rest of the season.

Only five players have recorded multiple 30-point triple-doubles this season: Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic and now Avdija. About a month after recording the first triple-double of his career, Avdija added a second one in a dominant performance against Atlanta. He has truly enjoyed a breakout season, though the start to the year was slow. This recent stretch has been his best with averages of 27.1 points, 10.9 rebounds, six assists, 1.6 steals and 3.3 three-pointers per game over the past two weeks. He will be an intriguing option heading into fantasy drafts next season.

With both Anfernee Simons (forearm) and Scoot Henderson (concussion) sidelined against Atlanta, Banton got the starting nod at point guard. He didn’t have an efficient night as a shooter, but he was able to turn in solid numbers in other categories. This was Banton’s first start of the season, but he had some big games as a starter last year. If Simons and Scoot remain out for Portland’s upcoming back-to-back on Thursday and Friday, Banton will be an appealing streaming option.

Grant is expected to miss an 11th-straight game with this knee issue, and he only played two games in the month of March. That is two fewer games than he played last March, and he will likely match his April games played total from last season of zero. Shaedon Sharpe’s spot in the starting lineup is likely secure for the rest of the season.

Henderson will remain sidelined for a second-straight game while in the league’s concussion protocol. Dalano Banton should continue to fill out the backup point guard minutes, but with Anfernee Simons questionable again, he could move into the starting lineup. That is the only scenario where Banton would be worth streaming. He was held scoreless in 19 minutes off the bench on Sunday with Henderson out.

While his defensive production was muted on Sunday, Camara shot the ball well against the Knicks after struggling against the Kings on Thursday. The second-year wing has reached double figures in seven of his last eight games and is ranked just outside the top 50 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Given the improved offensive output and his value to the Trail Blazers, Camara should be rostered in more than 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Also, Portland plays four games during Week 22.

Sharpe has scored 22 points or more in four of his last five appearances, continuing to produce as Jerami Grant’s replacement in the starting lineup. While the third-year wing has been a more valuable asset in points leagues, he has offered top-100 value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Rostered in 54 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Sharpe is worth adding in 12-team leagues where he’s available ahead of Portland’s four-game Week 22, which starts on Tuesday in Atlanta.

The Knicks did not have an answer for Avdija during the first half of Sunday’s game, as he scored 22 points on 9-of-15 shooting from the field. New York did a better job after the halftime break, but he still managed to record his sixth 30-point game of the season. Avdija is finishing the season in fine fashion, as he has provided top-15 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks and top-10 in eight-cat. The Trail Blazers play four games during Week 22, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Mobley returned from a one-game absence and turned in a 9/6/4 line on 3-of-10 shooting against the Pistons. He bounced back in a big way on Sunday, hitting 8-of-16 shots, including 3-of-6 from beyond the arc, and delivering some quality peripheral contributions. He and the Cavs get a brief respite before returning to the court for Wednesday’s primetime showdown with the Knicks.

Mitchell finished behind only Jarrett Allen (25) for team lead in scoring, and he tied Allen in rebounds and Darius Garland in assists. Spida has been tremendous across his last three. He delivered a double-double with 14 assists against the Spurs, dropped 38 against the Pistons and compiled a double-double with rebounds as Cleveland became the first team in the Eastern Conference with 60 wins. He’ll look to keep up his stellar play when the Cavs face the Knicks in a heavyweight bout on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should note that Cleveland plays only three games next week.

Tyson is not usually in the Cavaliers’ rotation when he is healthy, so his continued absence will not impact fantasy basketball. However, Jerome’s absence will have a noticeable impact on Cleveland’s bench. Craig Porter Jr. will play rotation minutes, but there isn’t much to gain from rostering him in most leagues. Look for De’Andre Hunter’s offense to be of greater importance with Jerome unavailable.

Henderson will miss at least one game after landing in the league’s concussion protocol. While his absence does not change anything regarding Anfernee Simons’ status as the starting point guard, Henderson not playing likely means more playing time for Dalano Banton.

Garland finished with just 10 points on 4-of-15 shooting in Thursday’s win over the Spurs, but he bounced back nicely on the second leg of Cleveland’s back-to-back set.

Garland is back in action on Sunday against the Clippers.

Mitchell’s point total was his second-highest of the season, dwarfed only by the 41 points he scored against the Celtics exactly one month ago.

While Cleveland’s “core four” is available and will start Friday’s game, Max Strus is not. Isaac Okoro, who is most valuable as a defender, will replace him in the lineup.

Avdija cooled off a bit after back-to-back 30-point performances, but he was able to lead Portland in scoring on Thursday despite the loss. Still, over the past two weeks, Avdija has averaged 22.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, one steal and 3.4 triples per game, which has him ranked inside the top 20 in nine-cat scoring during this stretch. He’ll look to keep it going in New York on Sunday to close out the week. He had 27 points and 15 rebounds in a loss to the Knicks earlier this month.

Sharpe continues to start with Jerami Grant (knee) still sidelined. Hopefully you aren’t holding out hope that Grant is going to return this season. Sharpe has taken advantage of the opportunity and has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. The rebounding numbers have been decent, but he struggles to provide value in multiple categories, which limits his value outside of points formats. Still, this development is important for a player with loads of upside that will turn 22 in at the end of May. Dynasty managers still have reason for optimism.

Despite success late last season, Reath wasn’t able to carve out a spot in the rotation for most of this year with Portland. However, he has taken on a larger role in the month of March, which allowed him to set a new season-high with 17 points on Thursday. He scored in double figures in three straight games last week but scored a total of eight points across their last two games entering Thursday. He played 28 minutes to Donovan Clingan’s 18, which isn’t a trend that will stick with any consistency, making it difficult to justify rostering Reath despite him playing well on Thursday.

Hunter didn’t move into the starting unit in place of Evan Mobley, who got a rest night on Thursday, but he did end up providing value off the bench. After playing 22-23 minutes over Cleveland’s three previous games, Hunter played 31 minutes against San Antonio, which allowed him to have one of his best rebounding performances as a Cavalier and set a new high for steals since being traded to Cleveland. The bar wasn’t high, but it was a nice bonus for a player that typically doesn’t contribute many defensive stats despite being known as a strong defender.

Cleveland has been rotating members of its “core four” to get rest nights, which has opened the door for Strus to take on a larger role offensively. He was quiet over their last three games, but he was able to provide a scoring punch on Thursday. Coming off the best season of his career, Strus has quietly been better in a smaller role. His minutes, points and assists are all down, but his three-pointers are about the same, and his shooting percentages have improved. They’re too deep for Strus to need to play 32 minutes per game again, but it should give them confidence in him heading into the postseason.

It has been a rough few weeks for Mitchell, and there was plenty of concern about both him and the Cavaliers as a team. Despite their incredible season, a four-game losing streak had them looking a little exposed. Since then, they’ve won three games in a row, and Mitchell was back to playing at an elite level in this one. His 14 dimes were a new season-high, eclipsing his 11 assists that he had in a game last week. This was the first night of a back-to-back, so keep an eye on Friday’s injury report to see if Mitchell gets the night off.

It took a half of basketball for Cleveland to figure out the mismatch they had down low. Even with Evan Mobley (rest) sidelined, San Antonio had no answer for Allen. Bismack Biyombo, Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jeremy Sochan simply had no answer for Allen in the paint. He only had two points at halftime, but he was able to put up 27 points and haul in 10 rebounds after the break. His point total in the second half would’ve been enough to tie his season-high for scoring. It was a dominant performance for Allen, but he won’t get this favorable of a matchup often.

Thybulle has recorded at least one steal in his six appearances this season. Due to the minutes limit, he hasn’t reached the point where he should be rostered in fantasy leagues.

Henderson’s production has been inconsistent after a run in which he reached double figures in 11 of 12 games after the All-Star break. The second-year guard has surpassed 10 points three times in his last six appearances, shooting 32.4 percent from the field. Therefore, Henderson is ranked outside the top 250 in eight-cat formats during this stretch. The playing time will be there, and Tuesday’s performance was a step in the right direction. As has been the case throughout the season, efficiency is the key for Henderson.

Over the past two weeks, Avdija has been a top 20 player in eight-cat formats.

Over the past two weeks, the Cavaliers’ big man has been a top-30 player in nine-cat formats. While Jarrett Allen (14 points, nine rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes) continues to provide reliable fantasy value, Mobley has emerged as the team’s top frontcourt option this season. And that won’t change anytime soon.

Garland shouldered more of the scoring workload on Tuesday due to Donovan Mitchell being out. The good news for those with the point guard rostered is that the lineup change did not negatively impact his efficiency. Garland shot over 50 percent from the field and finished with a 2-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Over the past month, he has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. Garland managers’ only concern is the occasional rest day, especially with Cleveland scheduled to play a Thursday/Friday back-to-back.
