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.

Camara has put forth two solid performances after having arguably his worst game of the season in Friday’s loss to the Knicks. On Tuesday, the Trail Blazers forward recorded his second double-double of the season, along with two steals and three three-pointers, a solid output for category league managers. And even with that poor showing against the Knicks, Camara has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks, according to Basketball Monster.

Of the 13 games that Portland has played in January, Camara has reached double figures in 11 of them. And his season average of 13.1 points per game is a career-high for the third-year forward, who finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line on Monday. Over the past two weeks, Camara has shot 49.3 percent from the field, providing top-100 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats.

A 42.7 percent shooter from the field, Camara had his most accurate performance of the season on Sunday. He didn’t miss a shot from the field or the foul line, continuing to trend in the right direction. Over the past two weeks, Camara has shot 48.1 percent from the field and 93.3 percent from the foul line. According to Basketball Monster, he has offered 10th-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, significantly better than Camara’s season-long value

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.

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.

Camara isn’t an elite three-point shooter, but he has upped his production in that category. The Trail Blazers’ wing has hit multiple three-pointers in six straight and nine of his last ten appearances. However, Camara’s percentages have decreased, as has the defensive production. For those reasons, he’s ranked outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While managers in deep leagues can afford to remain patient, standard-league managers who have Camara rostered have a decision to make ahead of Portland’s four-game Week 12.

Camara followed up a 0-of-6 shooting performance from the three-point line against the Magic by draining five against the Clippers on Friday. It marked the seventh time in December that the third-year forward has tallied at least three makes from beyond the arc. If he can remain efficient from long distance on this type of volume, he’ll have a chance to turn himself into one of the better young 3-and-D wings in the league.

While Camara’s defensive abilities have not been questioned since he entered the NBA, there remains room for him to develop his perimeter shooting. He made four of nine three-point attempts on Saturday, but Camara entered the game shooting 33.9 percent on seven attempts per game. If Camara can eventually develop into a high-30s three-point shooter, that would help raise his fantasy ceiling.

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.

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. With Camara being a limited scorer, turnovers have a greater impact on his value than some other 3-and-D wings. He’s averaged 2.8 turnovers per game during this stretch, resulting in his nine-cat value being three rounds lower than his eight-cat value.

Camara notched his first 20-point game of the season on Friday and was one of four Trail Blazers to score at least that many points. Interestingly, he did not provide any defensive stats against the Warriors, making it the third time this season he’s completed a game without a steal or a blocked shot. While he’s still rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Camara remains ranked well outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. That said, holding onto him with Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson out for multiple weeks isn’t a bad idea.

Camara didn’t provide his usual supply of steals, but he continues to be an effective threat from beyond the arc. He is averaging a career-best 2.2 three-pointers per game this season, which has helped make up for a drop in steals and field goal percentage. Camara will continue to be an elite defender, but the best part of his fantasy game right now is his deep-range shooting.

Camara was one of several Portland players to find success on the offensive end in the team’s high-scoring, 139-point outing against Golden State. He was one of five starters to score and double figures, with the production from beyond the arc leading to nearly half of his scoring output. The versatile forward also chipped in on the glass and used active hands to come away with a few steals. Overall, he had a balanced performance on the evening and could find himself in a good position to sustain this level of play going forward.

Camara sat out the second half of Portland’s October 10 exhibition against the Kings with a sore knee and did not play in the team’s preseason finale. However, he was a full participant in Monday’s practice, which may be a positive sign regarding the forward’s availability for Wednesday’s opener against the Timberwolves. Fantasy managers should consider Camara, who has established himself as one of the NBA’s better defenders, questionable for the opener.

Camara had tremendous success in his second season, hanging his hat on defense but showcasing his abilities on both ends of the court. Portland has the 2023 second rounder locked in through the 2029-30 campaign, and he figures to factor heavily into the team’s gameplan this season. Camara skyrocketed up fantasy draft boards, and he’s one of the most popular breakout candidates heading into the 2025-26 season.

Camara played 14 minutes during the first half of Friday’s game, finishing with three points (1-of-3 FGs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer. More concerning than the numbers was the reason why he did not play after halftime, with Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups revealing after the game that Camara was dealing with some knee soreness. The issue doesn’t sound serious, so fantasy managers should continue to draft Camara with the expectation that he’ll be good to go when the regular season begins.

Camara did not have the best night shooting the basketball at the charity stripe, as he missed both of his free-throw attempts. However, the third-year forward shot 4-of-9 from beyond the arc while offering his usual value as a defender. Camara established himself as one of the NBA’s top wing defenders, earning second-team All-Defense honors. His defensive prowess should keep Camara in the starting lineup once the regular season begins, and he should be selected in all fantasy drafts.

Camara returned from a one-game absence on Sunday, and the second-year forward looked sharp. Three-point percentage is not a scoring category in most fantasy leagues, so Toumani going 4-of-11 from deep is not a big deal, especially when he made 50 percent of his shots overall. Camara has been a top-75 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past month, closing in on top-50 value in the latter.

Camara is back after sitting out Friday’s game against the Bulls. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Matisse Thybulle, who may remain in that role since the Blazers will not have Deni Avdija. If so, that would preserve what little streaming value Thybulle possesses in fantasy leagues.

Simons has missed two in a row, but he’s got a chance to return against Chicago. Camara injured his ankle in Thursday’s matchup with Toronto, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he sat out the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set. Simons’ absence could free up more playing time for Dalano Banton, while Camara’s absence would mean more minutes for Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray.

Camara’s exit was announced early in the fourth quarter, and he won’t be available to close out this game. Matisse Thybulle should take on extra minutes in his place, and if Camara misses Portland’s next game, Thybulle or Kris Murray would likely start in his place.

While his defensive production was muted on Sunday, Camara shot the ball well against the Knicks after struggling against the Kings on Thursday. The second-year wing has reached double figures in seven of his last eight games and is ranked just outside the top 50 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Given the improved offensive output and his value to the Trail Blazers, Camara should be rostered in more than 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Also, Portland plays four games during Week 22.

Camara will be good to go after initially being listed as questionable with this foot injury. He’ll occupy his typical spot in the starting unit, where he has provided third-round value in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Camara’s improved offense and consistent defensive production have made him a valuable fantasy asset this season. Since the All-Star break, he has offered top 50 value in nine-cat formats. If Camara cannot play, Kris Murray may be tapped to fill the void in the starting lineup. However, he has offered limited fantasy value when allowed to start.

Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Camara may be undervalued, especially with the Trail Blazers continuing to play without Jerami Grant. Over the past two weeks, the second-year wing has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats. Camara’s offensive output has improved, and his defensive value has always been present. His run since the All-Star break has made Camara more valuable in the short term, and it should also positively impact his ADP in the fall.

Camara sat out Monday’s win over the Wizards, with Kris Murray replacing him in the starting lineup. While the second-year forward only scored five points, he was also responsible for 10 rebounds and four steals. Another player for fantasy managers to consider if they’re looking for defensive production is Matisse Thybulle, who recorded five steals and one blocked shot in 22 minutes off the bench.

Camara will miss this game after playing well on Sunday. That will leave a void in the starting unit, which could be filled by Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray or Dalano Banton. All three should see extra minutes regardless of who starts.

Camara lands on the injury report after scoring 21 points in Sunday’s win over the Raptors. He has been incredibly valuable since the All-Star break, providing top-50 value in nine-cat formats. If Camara cannot play, Kris Murray and Dalano Banton will pick up additional minutes. Banton offers a higher ceiling, but the priority may be to play the former first-round pick (Murray) if Camara sits.
