Avdija sustained the left quad injury in Wednesday’s matchup with Washington, but he may be available to take the court without missing a game. Grant hasn’t missed a game since February 12. Kris Murray and Shaedon Sharpe will be the biggest beneficiaries if Avdija or Grant are sidelined on Frday.

Williams will miss a fourth straight game with what is being called a left knee sprain. Portland will remain shorthanded at center with Deandre Ayton (calf) also still out. Jabari Walker should fill out the backup center minutes behind Donovan Clingan, but he doesn’t offer much fantasy upside.

Grant shot the ball poorly again on Wednesday, and he’s only made 27.5 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. However, the rebound production has increased in recent games. During that same two-week stretch, the veteran forward averages 5.3 rebounds per game, nearly two more than his mark for the season (3.5). However, the combination of decreased scoring and limited output in the other fantasy-relevant categories makes Grant a problematic player to hold onto in 10-team formats, even though he remains rostered in 74 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

After scoring eight points in his first game out of the All-Star break, Simons tallied 25 and 28 in wins over the Hornets and Jazz. He wasn’t as productive against the Wizards, but there was some value in the rebound, assist and steal numbers. Over the past two weeks, Simons has been a top 100 player in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his season-long value. Unless there’s a significant spike in production in one of the categories where Simons doesn’t traditionally provide consistent value (rebounds or field goal percentage), his ceiling will be limited.

Wednesday’s game was the best of the season for Sharpe in terms of production and highlights. Shaedon notched a season-high point total (36) and put up that number efficiently. He shot 50 percent from the field and 70 percent from the foul line and was also effective in the rebound and assist categories. Add in arguably the best in-game dunk in the NBA this season, and this was an excellent night for Sharpe, who scored 18 points in each half. Another note is the left quad injury that sidelined Deni Avdija before halftime. Sharpe started the third quarter, which may indicate his place within the rotation if Avdija misses time.

Avdija injured his left quad during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game, with the Trail Blazers announcing early in the third that he would not return. Shaedon Sharpe started the second half in Avdija’s place and appears to be the replacement if Deni misses time. Also in line for an increase in playing would be Scoot Henderson.

Avdija took a hit to his left quad during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game. While he remained in the game then, the Blazers forward eventually headed back to the locker room for further examination. Avdija is now questionable to return, and Kris Murray has entered the rotation. If Avdija misses time, Murray or Scoot Henderson will likely replace him in the starting lineup, with the latter offering a much higher fantasy ceiling.

James had a rather nondescript first three periods of Tuesday’s game, as he appeared intent on allowing Luka Doncic to take over against his former team. But in “winning time,” LeBron flipped a switch. Shooting 7-of-9 from the field in the fourth quarter, scoring 16 points with five rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer. James has scored 25 points or more in four straight games and has provided top-10 value in eight-cat formats since Doncic made his Lakers debut on February 10.

Reaves has now scored 20 points or more in four of his last six games, with three of those performances occurring with Luka Doncic on the court. Since the trade, Reaves has provided third-round value in nine-cat formats, averaging 20 points, four rebounds, six assists, 0.8 steals, one block and 2.5 three-pointers per game. Based on how he’s played, fantasy managers have nothing to worry about regarding Reaves’ value in a lineup that includes Doncic and LeBron James.

Doncic faced the Mavericks for the first time since he was traded in early February. He got off to a good start offensively on Tuesday, racking up nine points, seven rebounds and four assists in the first quarter. The point total may not have been as gaudy as most anticipated, but Doncic did record his first triple-double as a Laker. Luka has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats since the trade but was under a minutes restriction in his first two appearances.
