Sharpe has missed Portland’s last seven games with a strained left calf, and that isn’t the only injury that he’s dealing with. The Trail Blazers announced on Tuesday that further imaging has revealed a stress reaction of his left fibula. Given the timeline, fantasy managers would be well-served to move on from Sharpe, as he’s unlikely to be much help during the fantasy playoff weeks due to the re-evaluation timeline and a potential minutes limit once he’s cleared to play.

Sharpe will miss a sixth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a strained left calf. The recent returns of Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray have boosted Portland’s wing depth, but neither is at a point where they can affect fantasy basketball. Regarding the starting lineup, Sidy Cissoko may be the fifth starter if Deni Avdija (back; questionable) plays.

Even with the All-Star break, Sharpe isn’t over his calf injury. The 22-year-old shooting guard is set to miss his fifth consecutive game Friday against the Nuggets. Jerami Grant should see increased usage and Scoot Henderson could see additional minutes too.

Sharpe will sit out a fourth straight game, and with Deni Avdija banged up, Jerami Grant could be in line for increased run. Scoot Henderson is available and could take on additional minutes as well.

Injured during Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, Sharpe will miss a third consecutive game with a strained calf. With Deni Avdija recently returning to the lineup, Jerami Grant has effectively served as the fifth starter. He’ll remain in that role on Wednesday and is worth slotting into fantasy lineups.

Sharpe’s calf flared up during Friday’s game against the Grizzlies and he’s subsequently been ruled out for Saturday’s game with the same injury. His absence led to more minutes for Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejčí on Friday and it should play out similarly on Saturday.

Sharpe finished the second quarter of Friday’s game but did not return for the third, with the Trail Blazers eventually declaring him done for the night with a left calf injury. His early exit has led to more minutes for Sidy Cissoko and Vit Krejčí, with the latter knocking down two three-pointers and scoring 11 points.

Sharpe’s streak of games with at least 20 points ended at three, finishing one point away. More concerning for fantasy managers, especially those competing in category leagues, was the lack of production in categories outside of points and three-pointers. Sharpe has made some strides recently, which is why he’s been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Hopefully, he can get back to that in Portland’s final two games of Week 16.

Sharpe was the lone bright spot for the Trail Blazers in this one. While Portland lost by 30, he was the only Blazer with more than 15 points. Sharpe had 26 points on 16 attempts and made four three-pointers. He’s provided seventh-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out the week against the Cavaliers on Sunday.

Sharpe has been a consistent scorer for Portland for most of the season. Coming off a rough performance on Monday, where he was held to nine points, Sharpe responded with his first 30-point game since mid-December. The steals have been there consistently as well, which has allowed him to produce top-50 value in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks. He’ll look to stay hot in New York on Friday.

Sharpe was active on the offensive end on Friday. Without Deni Avdija (back), his shot volume was high, but he finished with fewer points than field-goal attempts. However, the fourth-year guard got on the glass and also made contributions as a passer to round out his solid overall performance. Depending on how long Avdija is sidelined, there’s potential that Sharpe could really put up some big scoring performances. He may have a chance to do so on Monday against the Celtics.

Deni Avdija (back) exited early from this game, which opened the door for Sharpe to step up. This was the second straight game he’s scored exactly 27 points, and he’s scored at least 20 in eight of his last nine games. Sharpe has seen a bump in steals this season, which has helped his value in category leagues, but he is still reliant on points and triples. He was able to do a little more in this game, but fantasy managers shouldn’t rely on him to produce to this level consistently. They play again on Friday, and if Avdija remains out, Sharpe should carry the offense again.

Sharpe has now scored at least 19 points in eight consecutive games, his most consistent run of scoring in a month. Over the past two weeks, he’s been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, shooting 48.6 percent from the field. What has also helped Sharpe is improved production across categories beyond points, rebounds and three-pointers. There wasn’t much to speak of in those other categories on Sunday, but Sharpe has averaged 3.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game over the past two weeks.

Since shooting 3-of-16 from the field and scoring six points in a January 3 loss to the Spurs, Sharpe has scored at least 20 in six of his last seven outings. With the consistent production, the Trail Blazers’ guard has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. As a result, Sharpe’s season-long value has cracked the top-100. Portland still has one more game to play in Week 13, as they visit the Kings on Sunday.

Sharpe stuffed the stat sheet in Thursday’s convincing victory over the Hawks. The fourth-year guard scored pretty well both inside and outside the arc and was able to capitalize at the FT line when fouls were generated. He also made an impact as a facilitator and as a rebounder, leading to another strong fantasy performance. He’ll have a chance to secure another strong outing against the Lakers on Saturday.

For the first time in nearly a month, Sharpe has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games. What’s encouraging for fantasy managers is that he played 35 minutes on Sunday despite Jrue Holiday making his return from a calf strain. Sharpe’s minutes will likely be affected more by the returns of Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant, and both appear far from returning to games. Portland has four games in Week 13, starting with the Warriors on Tuesday.

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.
