Murray missed Monday’s game against Dallas, and he could end up missing a second straight game. Sidy Cissoko started in place of Murray and would likely be in for another start if Murray remains out. Murray has been starting in place of Jerami Grant, who is still sidelined with left Achilles tendonitis.

Grant will remain out for another game, with Wednesday’s being the sixth that he has missed with left Achilles tendonitis. If Kris Murray, who sat out Monday’s win over the Mavericks with a right quad contusion, can play, he’ll likely return to the starting lineup. If Murray remains out, Sidy Cissoko would likely make a second straight start.

As a player on a two-way contract, Love can only be active for 50 NBA games. Monday was the 25th for the rookie out of Arizona, and there may come a point soon when Portland has to consider giving him a standard deal. Active for the Trail Blazers’ last 22 games, Love has scored in double figures in four straight. He finished two points shy of his season-high on Monday while matching his previous high with six three-pointers. Love still doesn’t offer much overall fantasy value, so there’s no need to add him. But he may be on his way to earning added job security before this season concludes.

For the second time this month, Clingan has recorded double-doubles in consecutive games. While the stat line against the Mavericks did not include any defensive stats, the second-year center shot 80 percent from the field and made multiple three-pointers for the third time in five games. Over the past two weeks, Clingan has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s been close to a top-25 player for managers punting free-throw percentage. Portland has three more games on its Week 11 schedule, starting with the Thunder on Wednesday.

Sharpe has scored at least 21 points in eight of his last nine appearances for the Trail Blazers, his most consistent stretch since early November. The Trail Blazers guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks. While foul shooting has been an issue, with Sharpe making 65.5 percent of his attempts, he’s shot nearly 50 percent from the field during this run. That’s good news for the Trail Blazers and those who have the athletic guard rostered.

Avdija, who finished one rebound shy of his third triple-double of the season, continues to make a strong case for a spot in February’s All-Star Game. The Trail Blazers’ forward, who has taken on primary playmaker responsibilities, is averaging 25.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 2.3 three-pointers per game while shooting 46.9 percent from the field and 79.1 percent from the foul line. Turnovers have been the lone issue for Avdija, as he’s averaging nearly four per game and committed six on Monday. However, the overall production has been excellent in a breakout campaign for Avdija.

Ivey’s offensive production on Sunday wasn’t great, but this was a big night for him in other aspects. The Pistons’ guard played fourth-quarter minutes for the first time since December 15, and the 29 minutes were a season-high. With Caris LeVert (knee) leaving Sunday’s game during the third quarter, Ivey reaching the high-20s in minutes may happen again on Tuesday against the Lakers. He isn’t at the point where standard-league managers need to consider adding Ivey yet, but he’s worth watching.

For the first time this season, Cunningham has shot 50 percent or better from the field in four straight games. Between the percentages, assists and relatively low turnover count, Sunday was a good night for those with Cunningham on their fantasy rosters. Over the past two weeks, he has provided top-10 per-game value in eight-cat formats. Cunningham and the Pistons will look to end their road trip on a positive note when they visit the Lakers on Tuesday.

Duren has recorded a double-double in five of his last six appearances, with Friday’s loss to the Jazz being the exception. If there has been an issue for the Pistons center recently, it has been at the foul line, though he made both of his attempts on Sunday. Duren is shooting 60 percent from the line over the past two weeks, a big reason why he has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats during this stretch. For the season, Duren is shooting a respectable 72.9 percent from the charity stripe. The Pistons end their west coast trip on Tuesday against the Lakers, the first of three games they’ll play in Week 11.

Sharpe was able to attack the rim throughout this one and also went 5-of-8 shooting from three-point range, serving as Portland’s primary offensive threat on a night where they committed a whopping 21 turnovers but still found a way to win. The fourth-year guard has been a borderline top-150 fantasy option this season, averaging 22.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks through 28 games. The Trail Blazers kick off a busy four-game week on Monday night against the Mavericks before hitting the road for matchups against the Thunder, Pelicans and Spurs.

Clingan was a force of nature on the glass against Boston’s lackluster frontcourt, pulling down seven offensive rebounds as part of a monster effort. The 21-year-old former lottery pick came up with a clutch offensive board in the closing seconds, converting a three-point play to give Portland a commanding four-point lead. He’s put together a strong stretch of late, averaging 13.3 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over his past four games.

Avdija, who leads the league in free-throw attempts this season, went just 5-of-10 from the charity stripe in this one, but he was a big reason why Portland shook off a rocky start to put together an impressive win over one of the hottest teams in the league. He hit a clutch floater in the final minute to give Portland a four-point advantage and finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. The 25-year-old has hit a bit of a rough patch recently but he’s still delivered top-60 fantasy value this season, averaging 25.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks through 32 games.

Sharpe appeared on Friday to be on pace for a seventh straight 20-point game after tallying 12 first-half points on efficient shooting. Yet, the fourth-year guard shot only 2-of-10 from the floor after halftime and tallied four points the rest of the way. He didn’t do much on the glass and had minimal impact as a facilitator, leaving him without much fantasy production overall on Friday. Sharpe will have an opportunity to bounce back against the Celtics on Sunday.

Camara followed up a 0-of-6 shooting performance from the three-point line against the Magic by draining five against the Clippers on Friday. It marked the seventh time in December that the third-year forward has tallied at least three makes from beyond the arc. If he can remain efficient from long distance on this type of volume, he’ll have a chance to turn himself into one of the better young 3-and-D wings in the league.

Avdija flirted with a triple-double on Friday, ultimately landing one assist and one rebound shy of the feat. He dominated inside the arc and found scoring in several ways, including at the rim, in the midrange, and by working his way to the charity stripe, before finishing as Portland’s leading scorer. Avidja has had a breakout sixth NBA season and is performing like one of the most productive forwards in the league. As the clear No. 1 option, he’ll likely continue to put up big numbers for the Trail Blazers and be an impact player in fantasy leagues.

Averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game, the Pistons wing is ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. Unless there’s a need for three-pointers and not much else, fantasy managers in most leagues can afford to leave Robinson on the waiver wire.

Holland was back in the Pistons’ rotation after missing two games with a knee injury. He was productive in his 19 minutes on the floor, joining Jaden Ivey and Caris LeVert as reserves who finished with 11 points. The issue for Holland from a fantasy standpoint is Detroit’s depth. Against the Jazz, five reserves reached double figures in minutes while a sixth, Daniss Jenkins, played nine. That limits the fantasy ceilings of the Pistons’ reserves, especially Holland. He should only be rostered in dynasty leagues at this point.

Harris has scored in double figures in four straight and five of his last six games. While the scoring has been relatively consistent, the veteran forward’s fantasy value has remained relatively low. Over the past two weeks, Harris has been ranked just outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, some fantasy managers will have to determine if holding onto Harris is worth it. His ceiling is considerably lower than in seasons past, due in part to Detroit’s improved depth.

After dishing out 14 assists in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Cunningham racked up 17 more on Friday, one shy of his career-high. Even better for fantasy managers is that the Pistons’ point guard kept the turnovers in check. He only committed four on Friday, less than half of his total against Sacramento (nine). Cunningham had a chance to win the game, but his three-pointer fell left of the mark as time expired. He and the Pistons will look to end Week 10 with a win when they visit the Clippers on Sunday.

After going from questionable to probable ahead of Friday’s game, Murray’s recent upgrade to available should come as no surprise. The fourth-year forward tied a season high in points the last time he took the floor, and will enter Friday’s contest with a bit of momentum.

This was his sixth game scoring in double figures this year, and he also got it done on the defensive end in this one by blocking the first three shots of his career.

Cunningham has dished out at least nine assists in five straight games, and the 14 he recorded on Tuesday were four shy of his season-high. However, there was a negative for those competing in nine-cat formats: turnovers. Cunningham committed a season-high nine against the Kings, and that has been a category that fantasy managers have needed to punt in previous seasons. There’s a one-round difference between Cade’s eight-cat and nine-cat values, with the Pistons point guard being a first-round player in the former.

For just the fourth time this season and first since December 3, Harris has scored at least 20 points in a game. Tuesday’s final tally was two shy of the veteran forward’s season-high. Given Detroit’s depth, Harris’s fantasy ceiling and floor have taken a hit this season. Over the last two weeks, he’s ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats, which is where his season-long value lies as well.
