The Trail Blazers are without their top two centers for Sunday’s game, as Donovan Clingan (leg) and Robert Williams (illness) are inactive. As a result, Yang will make his first start as an NBA player. While the opportunity is a good one for the rookie, matching up with Zach Edey will not be easy. The other four starters are unchanged.

Clingan will miss a second straight game as he continues to recover from a left lower leg contusion. With Robert Williams III (illness) also out, the Trail Blazers will have to rely on Duop Reath and Yang Hansen to fill the void at the center position. While neither is a great streaming option, the chosen starter will be worth a look in deep leagues.

Williams is a late addition to the injury report, and that’s typically not a good sign for a player’s availability. With Donovan Clingan (leg) questionable, Portland could give additional minutes to Duop Reath and Yang Hansen if both Williams and Clingan end up sidelined.

Clingan did not play in Friday’s loss to the Pistons, allowing Robert Williams to start and play 30 minutes. That would likely be Portland’s approach if Clingan can’t play on Sunday, making the Time Lord a worthwhile streamer. Also, Yang Hansen has been called up from the G League for added depth.

Holmgren made the most of his 23 minutes on Friday, tying a team-high in rebounds and finishing as one of OKC’s top-three scorers on the evening. He played his role well on both ends of the floor, with another blowout victory not requiring much individual production from the former Gonzaga Bulldog. Holmgren has scored at least 15 points in four straight games and flirted with a double-double in each — he’ll have a chance to earn one on Sunday against the Jazz.

Williams was steady in his fourth game of the season. He logged only 24 minutes, which was his lowest of the season, likely as a result of the large margin the Thunder led by before cruising to their 22nd win. In his minutes, Williams tied a team-high in rebounds and made contributions as a facilitator, all while finishing as one of OKC’s top scorers. He’s worked his way into the season rather well and should only become more productive the further he is removed from the wrist injury.

Once again, SGA dominated on the offensive end. The reigning MVP needed only 29 minutes of action and three quarters of basketball to reach the 30-point mark for the 19th time this season, which he did on extremely efficient shooting and with great production from the free-throw line. Gilgeous-Alexander also led the Thunder in assists and continues to lead OKC in its pursuit of a second NBA championship. The Thunder, with a 22-1 record, are on pace for the best regular-season record in NBA history.

Avdija was just one rebound and three assists shy of a triple-double. The 24-year-old small forward led the way with 35 points, though Jerami Grant had 29 points and Shaedon Sharpe had 28 points. For the season, Avdija is providing third-round fantasy value.

Clingan, who was injured during Tuesday’s loss to the Raptors, started and logged 25 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers. The second-year center’s playing time could be limited on Friday, with Duop Reath sliding into the backup role if Robert Williams III cannot play. Portland has already ruled out Yang Hansen, as he has joined the team’s G League affiliate. Reath or Williams will only be worth streaming if Clingan can’t play.

Love gave the Trail Blazers good minutes off the bench, recording his second 20-point game of the season. He took advantage of Kris Murray’s absence, and Wednesday’s performance could be another step towards showing franchise decision-makers that he’s worthy of a standard contract. While Love shouldn’t be rostered in redraft leagues, managers competing in dynasty formats should consider him as the Trail Blazers await the return of Jrue Holiday.

While Sharpe once again came off the bench, the fact that he was able to play both games of Portland’s first back-to-back since missing four games due to injury was encouraging. The athletic wing was productive in his 31 minutes, finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Sidy Cissoko, who has been the starter, played well in Cleveland, finishing with 11 points, four rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 25 minutes. Even with the run of starts, he is not at a point where he needs to be rostered in fantasy leagues.

With the NBA changing the format of the All-Star Game, it may be time to discuss Avdija’s chances of making his first career appearance. The Trail Blazers wing continues to shoulder most of the playmaking workload as Jrue Holiday (calf) remains sidelined, and he’s enjoying the most productive season of his NBA career. For the season, Avdija is providing third-round value in eight-cat formats, two rounds better than his Yahoo! ADP. Portland continues its road trip in Detroit on Friday.

Murray’s status for Wednesday’s game could have a larger impact than it typically would. Donovan Clingan (leg) is also questionable, and Murray started when Clingan last missed a game.

While Williams said after Tuesday’s victory that he still hasn’t reached the point where he’s entirely comfortable on the floor, the Thunder forward’s production has improved from game to game. His scoring output has increased every time out, with J-Dub recording his first 20-point stat line in his third game back from offseason wrist surgery. And while he missed all four of his three-point attempts, the percentages from the field and the foul line were encouraging. Williams has attempted only five three-pointers across three games, and that may be the aspect of his offensive game that takes the most time to get back to speed. But he’s clearly on the right track.

Oklahoma City’s win streak hit 13 games on Tuesday, and Holmgren has seven 20-point games during the run. On Tuesday, he shot 66.7 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, he has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with Holmgren’s Yahoo! ADP (26), but it’s not like he’s been a disappointment in fantasy basketball. Plus, the skill set is such that he’s capable of going on a run that would get his value closer to preseason expectations.

While the Warriors used increased defensive intensity and various looks to get back into Tuesday’s game, their inability to slow down the reigning MVP was the difference. After Pat Spencer hit a shot with 4:54 remaining to give the Warriors a one-point lead, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder went on an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, with the MVP responsible for five of those points. Regarding season-long fantasy value, only Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama have been better than SGA, and the latter is currently out with a calf injury.

With Sharpe recently returning to action after missing four games with a strained right calf, there has been some concern about his playing time. Despite coming off the bench again, he logged 30 minutes against the Raptors. That may be a sign that he’s ready to return to the starting lineup soon. However, with the Trail Blazers playing the Cavaliers on Wednesday, a night off may be in the cards for Sharpe. Sidy Cissoko (three points, two rebounds and one three-pointer in 22 minutes) continues to start, but he has not been productive enough to impact fantasy basketball.

One game removed from recording his second triple-double of the season, Avdija posted his seventh double-double on Tuesday. Since Portland lost Jrue Holiday to a calf injury, the versatile forward has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. Avdija is just outside the top-100 in nine-cat during this stretch, due mainly to an average of 3.8 turnovers per game. However, when Deni dishes out assists at the rate he did on Tuesday, fantasy managers aren’t going to lose sleep over a few turnovers.

Mitchell exited early from Friday’s game with a knee contusion, but that didn’t hold him out of this game. In fact, it didn’t do much to limit his production. Aside from Friday’s game, when he exited after just four minutes, Mitchell has scored in double figures in all but one game.

Portland played this game without Donovan Clingan (illness), and they didn’t replace him with a traditional center.

He led Oklahoma City in rebounding, and each team finished with exactly 49 boards, but this was an opportunity for Holmgren to have a big rebounding night. Still, he was able to turn in a full stat line. With Isaiah Hartenstein sidelined for at least a few games, Holmgren will need to control the glass.

Hartenstein was one of four Thunder players to score in double figures on Wednesday. As usual, his scoring was mostly done inside the arc, but with some inefficient free-throw shooting adding a bit more to his scoring total. He added a couple of stocks on the defensive end and wasn’t as productive on the glass as he usually is. He’ll have an opportunity to log a more productive line on Friday against the Suns.
