Sharpe wasn’t very efficient with 20 points on 22 field goal attempts, but he also pulled down eight rebounds and had five assists without turning the over the ball over. The 22-year-old shooting guard has had at least 20 points in four of his last five games. Sharpe has provided just 15th-round per game value over the last two weeks. He’ll have one more chance to put up points this week Sunday against the Knicks.

Sharpe was one of two Trail Blazers to score at least 20 points in the victory. Three-point shooting almost amounted to half of his scoring total, and his trio of assists was tied for second most on the team. Sharpe didn’t have much production elsewhere from a statistical standpoint, but his scoring was enough to leave him with at least a solid night’s worth of production.

Coming off arguably his worst performance of the season, Sharpe bounced back in a big way in this blowout victory. Sharpe’s been a high-level scorer, and he’s averaging a career high in steals, but his value in category leagues has been limited by a lack of production in other categories. However, that wasn’t the case in this game, and he was more efficient than he has typically been this year. This was an excellent outing, but it’s also one that Sharpe likely won’t be able to make happen often.

While there were moments when Sharpe struggled to get his offense going, especially when guarded by Pelicans rookie Micah Peavy, he still scored 23 points on 50 percent shooting. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has provided top-100 per-game value in eight-cat formats. Like Deni Avdija, he needs to clean up the turnovers to offer similar value in nine-cat formats, but things could be a lot worse for Sharpe managers than they have been recently.

Sharpe struggled with his efficiency on Wednesday, tallying nearly as many missed shots as he had points — zero made three-pointers, and limited production from the free-throw line led to the fourth-year guard’s lowest points total of December. He’s struggled as a scorer against OKC in the three matchups with them this season, but fortunately for Sharpe’s fantasy managers, Portland and OKC won’t face each other again this regular season. He’ll shift his focus to Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Sharpe has scored at least 21 points in eight of his last nine appearances for the Trail Blazers, his most consistent stretch since early November. The Trail Blazers guard has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past three weeks. While foul shooting has been an issue, with Sharpe making 65.5 percent of his attempts, he’s shot nearly 50 percent from the field during this run. That’s good news for the Trail Blazers and those who have the athletic guard rostered.

Sharpe was able to attack the rim throughout this one and also went 5-of-8 shooting from three-point range, serving as Portland’s primary offensive threat on a night where they committed a whopping 21 turnovers but still found a way to win. The fourth-year guard has been a borderline top-150 fantasy option this season, averaging 22.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.2 blocks through 28 games. The Trail Blazers kick off a busy four-game week on Monday night against the Mavericks before hitting the road for matchups against the Thunder, Pelicans and Spurs.

Sharpe appeared on Friday to be on pace for a seventh straight 20-point game after tallying 12 first-half points on efficient shooting. Yet, the fourth-year guard shot only 2-of-10 from the floor after halftime and tallied four points the rest of the way. He didn’t do much on the glass and had minimal impact as a facilitator, leaving him without much fantasy production overall on Friday. Sharpe will have an opportunity to bounce back against the Celtics on Sunday.

Sharpe had 25 points and five steals, but tanked his value in nine-category leagues with eight turnovers in the loss to the Pistons Monday. The 22-year-old shooting guard scored at will as the Trail Blazers mounted a comeback in the second half. Sharpe has provided eighth-round value over the last two weeks. He’ll be back on the court Tuesday against the Magic.

Sharpe has been on a roll recently, scoring at least 20 points in four straight and seven of his last eight appearances. His performance in Sacramento included one of the dunks of the season, but the Trail Blazers’ guard improving his offensive production is the bigger deal for fantasy managers. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has provided eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Given the limited output outside of points, his ceiling is a bit limited in fantasy basketball.

Sharpe was rolling in the first half, scoring 20 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. Unfortunately for him and those who have the Trail Blazers guard rostered, he cooled down considerably after halftime. Sharpe was just 3-of-13 from the field in the second half, so what could have been an outstanding night was merely a good one. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, pushing his season-long value into the top-100.

Sharpe picked a good time to have one of his best games of the season. Recording his fourth 30-point game of the season, he finished one point shy of his season-high and finished a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Over the past two weeks, Sharpe has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, with the run pushing his season-long value into the top-100. Portland plays two games in Week 9, a Thursday/Saturday home-and-home against the Kings.

While Sharpe’s minutes restriction had been lifted for a few games, acting head coach Tiago Splitter continued to bring him off the bench. That changed on Thursday, with the athletic guard replacing Sidy Cissoko with Portland’s first five. Sharpe was productive in that role, with his night including a 4-of-6 effort from beyond the arc. For the season, he remains ranked outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats, providing greater value in the former.

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 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.

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.

Sharpe is good to go after a four-game absence with a strained right calf. His return means Sidy Cissoko will head back to the bench, where his already-low fantasy value takes a hit. Even if Sharpe’s minutes are restricted, there’s no need to roster Cissoko in redraft leagues.

Sharpe has missed Portland’s last four games with a strained right calf. Sidy Cissoko has replaced him in the starting lineup, but has provided limited value in that role. Cissoko is not worth streaming if Sharpe remains out for another game.

Sharpe is set to miss his third game in a row with a strained right calf. The 22-year-old shooting guard is without a clear timetable to return at this point. Sidy Cissoko has started the last two games in Sharpe’s absence and figures to get another start Monday against the Bucks.

Sharpe will miss a second straight game with a strained right calf. While the Trail Blazers have not provided an exact return timeline for the guard, fantasy managers should plan for the possibility that Sharpe will remain out for a bit. Sidy Cissoko started Friday’s win over the Warriors, with him and Caleb Love providing excellent contributions. Look for them to take on similar roles on Sunday.

Sharpe did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Bulls. However, it was Sidy Cissoko who received the starting nod, with Kris Murray coming off the bench. Murray offers a higher fantasy ceiling if Sharpe remains out, but neither player is a must-add in this scenario.

Sharpe was initially doubtful for Sunday’s game, so the downgrade in status is unsurprising. Jerami Grant (illness) is going through his pregame routine, but the hope is that he’ll play after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Suns. Caleb Love, who played 32 minutes on Tuesday, will once again figure prominently in the rotation, even if he comes off the bench.

Having dealt with a sore left calf earlier this season, Sharpe is back on the injury report, but this time due to soreness in his right calf. The doubtful tag suggests he will not play, and with Jrue Holiday already out, Portland will be even more shorthanded on the perimeter. Caleb Love, who logged 32 minutes off the bench on Tuesday, and Sidy Cissoko will have added importance within the rotation, with the former potentially starting.

Sharpe led the way offensively for the Trail Blazers, who have lost five of their last six games. Injuries at the point guard position have begun to take a toll, with Scoot Henderson and Blake Wesley facing extended absences and Jrue Holiday missing a second straight game on Tuesday. As a result, Sharpe has had the ball in his hands more as a playmaker, but this has not boosted his assist totals very much. He had a season-high six helpers in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Mavericks but produced just three on Tuesday, slightly higher than his season average.

After getting off to a terribly slow start to the season, Sharpe has upped the production recently. He’s scored 31 points or more in three of his last four appearances, with Sunday’s being the best of the bunch. Sharpe didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but he has still provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats over the past week. The Trail Blazers play four games during Week 5, starting with the Suns on Tuesday.

Though he wasn’t able to extend his streak of 30-point games to three, Sharpe still had a decent night as a scorer. On top of that, this was only the second time this season that he had at least one steal and one block. Sharpe had been figuring things out on offense entering this game, and he’ll look to get back on track on Sunday in Dallas.

While Sharpe has reached double figures in all 11 games he’s played this season, the efficiency has improved substantially since the calendar flipped to November. He’s scored 31 points or more in consecutive games, and over his last five games, the Trail Blazers guard is averaging 25.6 points on 55.2 percent shooting. Sharpe hasn’t provided much production outside of points and three-pointers, making the percentages that much more critical in category leagues.

Sharpe had his best game of the year, dropping a season-high 31 points on the Magic. The 22-year-old shooting guard had been dealing with calf soreness, but had a great game in his first game off the injury report. Sharpe was in complete control against the Magic, seemingly scoring at will. He’ll continue to be the offensive centerpiece for the Trail Blazers.

Sharpe, who has been battling calf soreness since late October, came up just shy of notching a double-double in this one and could’ve had an even better scoring night had he not gone a ghastly 1-of-8 from downtown. The 22-year-old scorer is shooting just 38 percent from three-point range on a career-high seven attempts per-game this season. It’s only a nine-game sample, so we’re anticipating some regression here since he shot nearly 45 percent from long range last season.
