Avdija’s potential absence on the second night of a back-to-back would open up a ton of minutes and a starting spot. Shaedon Sharpe would likely move back into the starting lineup, while Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert could take on larger roles off the bench, though neither would play enough to be worth streaming in standard leagues.

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. With Robert Williams (knee) out, Murray’s status will be the main factor for deciding if Duop Reath and Yang Hansen will be part of the rotation for this game.

Clingan could be unavailable for the second night of this back-to-back. Kris Murray started during Clingan’s last absence, but he is questionable with a hip contusion. If both are out, Yang Hansen and Duop Reath would occupy the center minutes, though in a matchup with Evan Mobley, that wouldn’t make either ideal streaming targets.

Unsurprisingly, Williams will sit out the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back. Donovan Clingan (leg) is questionable, and with Williams unavailable, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen are candidates to be part of the rotation. Kris Murray started in a smaller lineup during Clingan’s last absence, and he should see a bump in minutes regardless of Clingan’s status.

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.

An adductor injury has sidelined Luguentz Dort, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Mitchell, who has provided solid fantasy value whether he starts or comes off the bench, will fill the void. He should already be rostered in 14-team leagues, and some 12-team leagues as well. The other four starters are unchanged.

Since scoring five points and missing all eight of his field-goal attempts in a November 21 win over the Warriors, Grant has reached double figures in five straight games. His season-long fantasy value has continued to exceed expectations, with the forward ranked within the top-100 in eight-cat formats. While rebounding remains an issue for Grant, the percentages have been solid, as has the defensive production.

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.
POR • Forward • #8

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.

Camara hit four first-quarter triples and finished with six, establishing a new high for three-pointers in a game. Over his last two outings, the third-year forward is 11-of-22 from beyond the arc. Camara’s season-long fantasy value hasn’t been great, due in part to his shooting 41.3 percent from the field, but he’s made 44.4 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks.

Clingan will be back after a one-game absence, which will push Kris Murray to the bench.

With Clingan unavailable, the Trail Blazers began Sunday’s loss to the Thunder with a smaller lineup. Kris Murray joined the starters and played 35 minutes, with Robert Williams getting 19 minutes off the bench. If Toronto’s Jakob Poeltl is available for Tuesday’s matchup, that could be a spot where Williams receives the starting nod if Clingan can’t play. However, that isn’t guaranteed, and the Time Lord’s minutes are still being restricted due to his injury history.

With Donovan Clingan sidelined with an illness, Avdija practically filled in as the starting center. He fell one rebound shy of matching his career high for rebounds, but he was still able to record the fourth triple-double of his career. Avdija is enjoying a phenomenal breakout season and will continue to be an elite option in fantasy basketball, even if the lack of defensive stats and subpar shooting percentages have slightly limited him.

Love is still on a two-way contract for Portland, but he has been a source of offense off the bench in recent weeks. He has scored in double figures in four of his last seven appearances, though it hasn’t come efficiently in recent games. Love has done enough to be worth keeping an eye on in dynasty leagues, but he has a ways to go before he can be considered a standard league option.

Murray got the starting nod with Donovan Clingan (illness) sidelined for this game. It was a smaller starting unit for Portland, and Murray wasn’t able to fill the void on the glass. However, he was able to score in double figures for just the third time this season. This was Murray’s second start of the season, and it was far more productive than the first. He won’t get the chance to start often, but he does have enough upside to make an impact in deeper league when he does.

SGA wasn’t able to keep his 35-point streak going, but he was able to do enough to help the Thunder extend their winning streak to 12 games. This was a decent performance for SGA, but he has been good enough that his will actually drop his scoring average. He’ll look to “bounce back” against the Warriors on Tuesday to kick off a three-game week.

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. It’s early, but Mitchell has a strong case to win Sixth Man of the Year at this point, which is a huge development for a second-round pick in his second season.

Portland played this game without Donovan Clingan (illness), and they didn’t replace him with a traditional center. That made Holmgren the biggest player in either starting lineup, but he wasn’t able to truly dominate the glass. 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.

Following an 11-game absence, Wiggins will be back in the lineup against Portland. He started in the last game he played in, but with the backcourt rotation completely healthy, he’ll likely play a limited role off the bench, which won’t be enough time for him to make a fantasy impact.

Caruso’s fantasy production hasn’t replicated how effective he is on the floor, but his second-highest minutes total of the year (24) allowed him to have a decent night in this one.

SGA continues to dominate every single night. He has scored at least 20 points in every game this season, and this was his third straight scoring at least 35 points.

Given the time missed, there will likely be a minutes restriction, even though the Thunder have not released an official number for the versatile forward.

Sharpe returned from a four-game absence, came off the bench and finished as Portland’s third-leading scorer on Wednesday. He failed to make an impact from beyond the arc but was efficient and productive on his two-point attempts. The fourth-year guard pulled down a handful of boards in his 22 minutes, as well, but didn’t have much impact elsewhere. Wednesday’s outing marked his lowest of the season from a minutes and scoring standpoint. It’ll be worth monitoring how Sharpe is utilized going forward — he was averaging 30 points in the five games prior to returning on Wednesday.

On the heels of a 35-point outing against the Bucks, Grant failed to recapture his shooting touch on Wednesday. Against the Spurs, he didn’t make a three-pointer and shot below 30 percent from the field on nearly 20 shot attempts. Still, he managed to finish as the team’s second-leading scorer on a night in which only one Trail Blazer scored more than 13 points. Portland will need Grant to be productive going forward, given the team’s injuries. He’ll have a chance to bounce back against the Thunder on Sunday.

Avdija set a new season-high in scoring on Wednesday, using the three-point shot and accurate shooting inside the arc to achieve it. Six missed free throws prevented the versatile forward from reaching the 40-point mark, and his six turnovers also likely cost him a few shot attempts. However, he also tallied a team-high in assists against the Spurs before the final buzzer sounded. Avidja has been Portland’s most productive player thus far, which shouldn’t change as the season progresses.

Having tweaked his left ankle during Friday’s win over the Warriors, Clingan’s availability for both games of Portland’s ensuing back-to-back was good news for the Trail Blazers and fantasy managers. After providing minimal value in Sunday’s loss to the Thunder, the second-year center recorded his fifth double-double of the season in Milwaukee. By comparison, Clingan had eight double-doubles his entire rookie season. While it’s still early, the question isn’t whether he can provide top-100 value, but rather if Clingan can maintain top-50 value in nine-cat formats.

In addition to pestering Milwaukee’s Ryan Rollins defensively for most of the night, Camara finished Monday’s victory with a complete stat line. The third-year forward has been close to a top-100 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

After recording one assist in Sunday’s blowout loss to the Thunder, Avdija was considerably better on Monday.

Since the Trail Blazers lost Jrue Holiday to a calf injury, Avdija has averaged 23.2 points and 7.0 assists per game.

He did much of his work at the foul line, with 16 points from the charity stripe, the most for him since February 8, 2024, against the Pistons (18). Grant doesn’t offer much as a rebounder, but the increased scoring is why he’s a top-100 player in nine-cat formats.

Mitchell’s emergence as a reliable scoring and playmaking option off the bench for a loaded Thunder roster is one of the more pleasant surprises of the early stages of the year. The 23-year-old is averaging just a shade over 16 points and nearly 28 minutes through 18 games. His role will be greatly reduced once Jalen Williams (wrist) is ready to make his season debut, but he’s proven that he can provide a spark off the bench when Oklahoma City calls his number.
