Lillard’s score of 29 in the final round was enough to beat Kon Knueppel, who had 17, and Devin Booker, who had 27. The 35-year-old point guard won the three-point contest for the third time in his career, tying Larry Bird and Craig Hodges for most in NBA history. Lillard is out for the season after rupturing his left Achilles during last year’s playoffs.

Clingan became the first Trail Blazer since Scottie Pippen in 2003 to have a game with at least 20 points, at least 15 rebounds, at least five assists and no turnovers. The 21-year-old center has provided second-round per game value over the last two weeks. Clingan looks like a great fantasy center for years to come.

Holiday’s 31 points in Thursday’s win over the Jazz were his most in a game since the 2023 season. The 35-year-old point guard was also just a rebounds and three assists away from a triple-double. While Holiday was able to turn back the clock against the Jazz, he’s provided just 11th-round per game value over the last two weeks heading into the All-Star break.

This was the second time in their last three games that Mashack started for the Grizzlies. The former Tennessee Volunteer was drafted late in the second round this past summer, and after not seeing much time to start his career, he has taken on a larger role over the last five games. The scoring has been inconsistent, but his elite defense in college has transferred over; he has at least two steals in each of his last five games and is averaging 3.2 swipes during this stretch.

Despite the outcome of Wednesday’s game and the five turnovers, this was an encouraging performance for Henderson. The third-year guard shot the ball well from the field and the foul line, including a 3-of-5 night from beyond the arc. Scoot’s minutes are still being limited, as he played 19 on Wednesday, but that will likely change after the All-Star break. The Trail Blazers visit Utah on Thursday, but fantasy managers should assume that Henderson will sit for injury management reasons.

Krejčí is most valuable to category league managers needing points and three-pointers, and he came through on Wednesday. The 17 points and three three-pointers were the most in a game for him since arriving in Portland. However, the limited production in the other fantasy-relevant categories makes Krejčí little more than a specialist in deep leagues. Portland completes its pre-break portion of the schedule on Thursday against the Jazz.

On a night when the Timberwolves were able to frustrate Deni Avdija (11/5/3/1) and limit him to 3-of-14 shooting, Holiday did what he could to pick up the slack. He’s scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and the 23 in Wednesday’s defeat were the most in a game for the veteran guard since October 27. However, while the 23/5/5 line with five three-pointers was solid, it was accompanied by six turnovers. Holiday did play both legs of Portland’s most recent back-to-back, but he should still be considered questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Jazz.

The Grizzlies won’t have Cedric Coward for Wednesday’s game, which opens a spot in the starting lineup. Mashack, the 59th overall pick in the 2025 draft, will fill the resulting void. While starting gives him a good opportunity, the rookie is not a must-stream player.

Initially listed as doubtful, Coward will miss Wednesday’s game after not playing the second half of Monday’s loss to the Warriors.

While Clayton was out for Monday’s loss to the Warriors with a calf contusion, Coward left in the first half with a sore right knee. Both players are considered doubtful for Wednesday’s game, with the latter’s potential absence being more impactful. Scotty Pippen Jr. replaced Coward in the lineup to begin the second half on Monday, but he is still under a minutes restriction. Taylor Hendricks logged 25 minutes off the bench against the Warriors and could be in line for a similar role on Wednesday.

Aldama continues to be listed on the injury report due to right knee injury management, with Wednesday’s game being the eighth in the last nine that he’s missed.

Injured during Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, Sharpe will miss a third consecutive game with a strained calf.

Between the amount of time that he missed with a strained calf and the return of Scoot Henderson, Holiday still isn’t playing full starters’ minutes. However, his 28 minutes against the 76ers could have been higher, but Portland was in firm command early in the fourth quarter. And, as mentioned, with Henderson now in the fold, Holiday’s playing time may be capped the rest of the way. Scoot played 20 minutes on Monday, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, six assists and one steal.

Facing off against another UConn alum in Philadelphia’s Andre Drummond, Clingan had another solid performance to help push Portland to its third straight win. Over the past two weeks, the Trail Blazers’ center has been a third-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats according to Basketball Monster. As well as Clingan has performed in his second NBA season, his future is incredibly bright, which is great for those who have him rostered in dynasty leagues.

After a two-game absence, Avdija was back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup without any restrictions. He played 27 minutes, which aligned with the other starters in a game Portland won by 17, finishing two assists shy of a triple-double. Avdija’s lower back didn’t give him any trouble, but that may not prevent the Blazers from keeping him out of one of their final two games before the All-Star break. Portland plays road games against Minnesota (Wednesday) and Utah (Thursday).

Camara put on a show Monday night, shooting a scalding hot 8-of-10 from beyond the arc. The Trail Blazers’ forward recorded career-highs in points and three-pointers while also producing three steals. Nights like Monday may not become the norm for Camara, but consistent three-point production would raise his fantasy ceiling. The good news for fantasy managers is that Portland plays two more games before the All-Star break, starting with the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Pippen played 20 minutes off the bench on Monday, two fewer than his season debut against the Trail Blazers on Friday. However, like teammate Ty Jerome, the minutes restriction did not prohibit Pippen from providing solid value in multiple categories, including assists and steals. With Cedric Coward (knee) not returning for the second half, Pippen replaced him in the lineup. That could be the Grizzlies’ course of action if Coward can’t play in Wednesday’s game against the Nuggets.

After totaling 11 points and six rebounds in his first two appearances as a Grizzly, Hendricks had one of his best games of the season on Monday. Recording his first double-double, the 6-foot-9 forward recorded a season-high 10 boards. And the 15 points were the most in a game for Hendricks since December 23, when he dropped 21 on the Grizzlies while still with the Jazz. With Santi Aldama (knee) out, there’s more room for Hendricks within the rotation, even if he isn’t a true center. There may be some deep-league value to be had during the silly season because of Hendricks’ defensive potential.

Despite still being under a minutes limit, Jerome has been a valuable fantasy option when available. He’s scored at least 19 points in four of his five appearances this season, shooting 56.7 percent from the field. With the Grizzlies only playing once more before the All-Star break, Wednesday against the Nuggets, availability should not be an issue for Jerome. So even if Jerome remains capped at 20 minutes, he’s more than capable of providing reliable fantasy value.

Coward played 12 first-half minutes before exiting, and the rookie wing is unlikely to return. Scotty Pippen Jr. was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter, which may be a sign that he would start if Coward isn’t available for Wednesday’s game in Denver.

Williams was initially listed as questionable after missing Saturday’s game against Memphis, but he will be good to go against the 76ers.

Aldama will remain out for another game as he continues to manage a right knee injury.

For those wondering what the Grizzlies would do at the center position without Santi Aldama, the answer for their two games in Portland was to go small. After sitting out Friday’s defeat, Anderson was tabbed to serve as the starting center on Saturday, and he recorded a nice stat line. The four defensive contributions were the most in a game for SloMo since New Year’s Day. His value moving forward depends partly on Aldama’s availability. The Grizzlies play four games in Week 17, two before the All-Star break.

Hendricks played 21 minutes in both of Memphis’ games in Portland. While the production wasn’t great, the playing time was there, unlike in Utah pre-trade.

Due to the Grizzlies being light on perimeter bodies, Saturday was a night where Small was able to get an extended runout. And the rookie guard took advantage of his time, shooting 70 percent from the field and providing solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Small played a lot of his minutes alongside Walter Clayton Jr. (8/4/7/3 in 28 minutes) in Memphis’ two games in Portland, and that may be the case moving forward on nights when the two-way guard is active. Small isn’t a must-roster player, but he may have moments when he’s worth streaming as the Grizzlies rebuild.

Prosper has impeccable timing. With February 7, 2026, designated as “National Marquette Day,” the Marquette alum had the best night of his NBA career. O-Max made his first six three-point attempts and finished with a career-high 25 points. Memphis was without Jaylen Wells and Cedric Coward, so there was plenty of room for Prosper to contribute despite coming off the bench. Nights like Saturday are unlikely to become the norm for Prosper, but there may be more moments when he’s given a prominent role out of necessity.

With Portland getting healthier in the backcourt, Love’s opportunities aren’t going to be as plentiful as they were earlier this season. The rookie deserves credit for staying ready, as he chipped in with 17 points and eight assists in 27 minutes. Portland’s three-game start to Week 17 includes a back-to-back, so Love should be active for at least one game. However, due to the 50-game limit and Scoot Henderson’s return, Love won’t be much help to those competing in redraft leagues.

Holiday certainly enjoyed seeing Memphis the last two days. In two Trail Blazers victories, he totaled 41 points on 14-of-25 shooting. While Holiday didn’t record any defensive stats on Saturday, the offensive output helps to compensate for that. He has been a top-50 player over the past week, but the playing time continues to hover in that 25-29 minute range. Portland plays three games before the All-Star break, including a back-to-back, which may not be ideal for those hoping to see Holiday play more.

Clingan injured his left thumb early in Saturday’s victory and had to get it taped up. That injury didn’t keep the second-year center from recording one of the best all-around lines of his career. He finished one board shy of his third 20-rebound game of the season, and Clingan’s fingerprints were also on this game as a scorer and defender. Clingan’s ability to play 36 minutes may be a sign that the thumb isn’t an issue, but more should be learned on Sunday. The Trail Blazers play five games in Week 17, with three scheduled for before the All-Star break.
