Williams is back after having to leave Friday’s game against the Rockets prematurely due to a sore right knee. His return means fewer minutes will be available for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, with the latter likely falling out of the rotation entirely.

Holiday is available to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. While the veteran guard’s minutes will be limited, he could start. If Holiday starts, Sidy Cissoko may be the odd man out. Either way, Cissoko’s playing time will likely decrease.

Murray suffered a back injury in Monday’s game against the Jazz. The 25-year-old small forward has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain in his lower back and there’s currently no timetable for his return. With Jerami Grant (Achilles) also out, Sidy Cissoko figures to start again Sunday.

Williams was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. It’s likely the 28-year-old center will return after leaving Friday’s win over the Rockets with right knee soreness. Williams will assume his role as one of the backup centers, but he isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues at this point.

Holiday was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. The 35-year-old point guard is now likely to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. Holiday is likely to be on a minutes restriction due to all the time he’s missed this season.

Şengün has missed the last three games with a sprained right ankle, but he could be back sooner than the 10-14 days timeline provided by head coach Ime Udoka on January 5. If Şengün returns, Steven Adams will likely head to the bench, and Clint Capela will fall out of the rotation.

Thompson is averaging 18.2 points per game this year, but has at least 20 points in five of his last six games. The 22-year-old point guard had a good game, his second night in a row with 24 points. Still, it wasn’t enough to prevent the Rockets from blowing a big lead in the fourth quarter with Kevin Durant on the bench. Thompson has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. Houston will finish up their road trip Sunday in Sacramento.

Eason played 16 minutes before spraining his right ankle and leaving Friday’s game with just over eight minutes remaining in the third quarter. Replaced in the lineup by Reed Sheppard, the Rockets’ forward was declared done for the night early in the fourth quarter. While Eason can be a valuable category league option, the inability to stay healthy has been an issue. The Rockets end their Week 12 schedule in Sacramento on Sunday.

After hitting the game-winner in Monday’s game against the Suns, Durant has played well in two games against the Trail Blazers, but the Rockets have lost each matchup. The 37-year-old small forward has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four games. Durant is 16th-overall in per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets close out the week against the Kings Sunday.

Avdija was just 5-of-15 from the field in this one, but made all eight of his free throws on his way to 20 points. The 25-year-old small forward has scored at least 20 points in nine of his last 10 games. Avdija is providing fourth-round per game value over the last two weeks. While his rebounds were down Friday, he’s still a threat to have a triple-double against the Knicks Sunday.

Sharpe wasn’t very efficient with 20 points on 22 field goal attempts, but he also pulled down eight rebounds and had five assists without turning the over the ball over. The 22-year-old shooting guard has had at least 20 points in four of his last five games. Sharpe has provided just 15th-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll have one more chance to put up points this week Sunday against the Knicks.

Camara is averaging 12.8 points per game this year and had had at least 20 points in just one of his last six games entering play Friday. He wasted no time dropping 16 points in the first quarter. The 25-year-old small forward went off for a career-high 25 points on 16 attempts, including five made threes. Camara has provided 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out the week against the Knicks on Sunday.

While Williams missed a few games earlier this month due to left knee injury management, the right knee was the reason for his early exit on Friday. His departure means rotation minutes for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, but neither would be worth streaming going forward since starter Donovan Clingan is healthy.

Sidelined since November 14, Holiday was cleared to resume on-court activities on New Year’s Day. He’s making progress, but the doubtful tag suggests that Holiday won’t be available on Friday. Deni Avdija will run the show as long as the Trail Blazers are shorthanded on the perimeter, and he’s played at an All-Star level this season.

Camara had another well-rounded performance in Wednesday’s win, despite shooting inefficiently from beyond the arc. He made all of his two-point shots, finished statistically as one of the best rebounders and facilitators on the team, and was the only Trail Blazer to record multiple blocks and steals. His fantasy ceiling isn’t sky-high, but he’s proven to be more than capable of streaming together similar stat lines as a nice two-way wing.

Sharpe was one of two Trail Blazers to score at least 20 points in the victory. Three-point shooting almost amounted to half of his scoring total, and his trio of assists was tied for second most on the team. Sharpe didn’t have much production elsewhere from a statistical standpoint, but his scoring was enough to leave him with at least a solid night’s worth of production.

Avdija hit the 40-point mark for the first time all season on Wednesday to continue with what’s been an outstanding start to the calendar year. Through four games in 2026, Avdija’s lowest scoring total was a 29-point outing against the Spurs, which resulted in a triple-double. He’s gone for 30 or more points in three of the last four games and has remained a triple-double threat on a nightly basis. He’ll have an opportunity to be effective against the Rockets again on Friday.

Eason got up a lot of shots on Wednesday, but not a lot of them fell. His biggest near-make came in the closing moments of the game as he almost successfully tapped in a missed Kevin Durant jump shot at the buzzer to give the Rockets the win. Instead, the ball was still in his hand as the horn sounded, and the shot was waived off. Eason still had good fantasy production on the evening, thanks to his team-high and season-high in rebounds. Houston will face Portland again on Friday.

Thompson was one of the Rockets’ most productive offensive performers on Wednesday. On efficient 50-percent shooting, the former fourth-overall pick notched his 14th 20-point game of the season, and fourth in the past five games. He made his usual contributions as a passer, but also hit the glass hard to finish as one of three Houston starters to collect double-digit rebounds. Thompson’s work on the defense end also added to his overall production on the night, leading to a nice night as far as fantasy basketball goes.

On the heels of a game-winning shot against his former employer, the Suns, Durant delivered a fantastic scoring performance on Wednesday in the one-point loss. He tied a season-high in points, despite making just two three-pointers on the night. And with just one stock and no assists, there wasn’t much to the two-time Finals MVP’s final stat line. His scoring was the story in this game.

Cissoko is in the starting lineup on Wednesday for the injured Kris Murray, who will miss Wednesday’s game due to a back injury. It’ll mark the third-year guard’s 13th start of the season for a Trail Blazers squad that is currently riding a three-game winning streak. Cissoko is coming off his sixth game of the season in which he scored in double figures; he’ll have a chance for a seventh against the Rockets.

Coming off arguably his worst performance of the season, Sharpe bounced back in a big way in this blowout victory. Sharpe’s been a high-level scorer, and he’s averaging a career high in steals, but his value in category leagues has been limited by a lack of production in other categories. However, that wasn’t the case in this game, and he was more efficient than he has typically been this year. This was an excellent outing, but it’s also one that Sharpe likely won’t be able to make happen often.

Clingan dominated early on in this game and entered the halftime break with a double-double. This was his third straight double-double, and he has one in five of his last six games. However, it’s the deep-range shooting that has been the real revelation. He hit a total of 14 triples as a rookie, but he has five over his last two games and 12 over his last seven. Clingan doesn’t need to become a true stretch five, but if he can space the floor, it will continue to open up the offense for Portland.

Avdija’s dominant first half helped Portland take a 21-point lead into halftime. He had 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists entering the break. He didn’t add much after that, but he didn’t need to for the Blazers to get the win. Turnovers and poor percentages have limited Avdija’s value in category leagues, but those haven’t been as severe an issue over his last three games. He’ll look to keep it going against the Rockets on Wednesday.

Adams returned from an ankle injury and started in place of Alperen Sengun (ankle) against the Suns on Monday. The 32-year-old center had eight points and 11 rebounds in 31 minutes.

With the score tied at 97 and the clock winding down, Durant hit a game-winning three-pointer from the right wing with less than one second left in regulation. It was the kind of clutch shot that Durant has become known for over the course of his career, which will one day be enshrined in the Hall of Fame. He’s still a top fantasy player, providing top-15 per game value over the last two weeks. The Rockets will be back on the floor Wednesday against the Trail Blazers.

Surprisingly, Thompson has only recorded six double-doubles this season, with Saturday’s being his first since December 15. If Alperen Şengün has to miss time after exiting Saturday’s game with a sprained right ankle, Thompson could receive a boost in the assist category. Over the past two weeks, he has offered top-20 per-game value in eight-cat formats. The Rockets play four games in Week 12.

Saturday’s double-double was Eason’s first since moving into the Rockets’ starting lineup, and he’s capable of producing those stat lines consistently. Depending on the diagnosis for Alperen Şengün, who sprained his ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s defeat, there may be a greater need for what Eason brings to the table, especially as a rebounder. He’s still rostered in 33 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low for Eason. He should be a popular option for those competing in category leagues going into Week 12.

With Houston losing Alperen Şengün to a sprained right ankle just over a minute into Saturday’s game, Durant was needed to do even more offensively. Despite even more defensive attention, he shot over 50 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line.

He recorded an efficient stat line against the rebuilding Nets, but the most critical takeaway for fantasy managers was that Şengün was able to play 34 minutes.

While the Rockets don’t look to Thompson to be a prolific scorer, he has increased his production in recent games.
