A double-digit scorer in each of his last five games, Henderson also took better care of the basketball on Monday. He was responsible for two turnovers, making it three of the last five games that he’s had two or fewer. However, coming off the bench limits Henderson’s fantasy ceiling, especially when he plays 20 minutes as he did on Monday.

Having scored 12 points on 5-of-20 shooting in his prior two appearances, Camara needed a night like Monday to get untracked. The 18 points are the most he’s scored in a game since February 9, when he tallied 30 in a win over the 76ers. And since the calendar flipped to March, he’s reached double figures in three of eight games played. Shooting 36.3 percent from the field and 56.5 percent from the foul line since the All-Star break, Camara has been more valuable to the Trail Blazers than to fantasy managers.

Avdija didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, going 4-of-13 from the field. However, he did provide solid value in other categories, most notably rebounds and assists. Since the All-Star break, he has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. A lingering back issue hasn’t helped, but Avdija has been active for each of the Trail Blazers’ last five games.

For just the second time in eight games he’s played this month, Clingan failed to record any defensive stats in Monday’s victory. However, the second-year center did produce his fourth consecutive double-double and 29th of the season. Since the All-Star break, Clingan has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. Portland plays three more games in Week 21, starting with the Pacers on Wednesday.

Williams is out after serving as Donovan Clingan’s backup in Sunday’s loss to the 76ers. Starting center Donovan Clingan’s playing time may increase slightly, with the Trail Blazers going small when he isn’t on the floor.

Krejčí has logged just over 13 minutes per game across his last three appearances, so his absence won’t cause a major impact in the world of fantasy hoops.

Williams III played in Sunday’s matchup with the 76ers, but he could be held out on the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set for left knee injury management. If that happens, Portland could run some small ball lineups when Donovan Clingan gets a breather.

Clingan didn’t offer a great deal as a scorer, but fantasy managers will be pleased with the rebounds, assists and blocks. Since the All-Star break, the second-year center has provided second-round value in eight-cat formats. As long as Clingan remains healthy, he’ll provide fantasy managers with excellent value the rest of this season.

While Grant provided excellent value in points and three-pointers, the overall stat line was along what many fantasy managers have grown accustomed to getting from him in recent years. Since the All-Star break, he has averaged 1.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.4 blocks per game, limiting Grant’s fantasy upside. The Trail Blazers play four games in Week 21, starting with the Nets on Monday.

While Avdija did not have the cleanest game on Sunday, having recorded seven turnovers while shooting 7-of-19 from the field, the points, rebounds and assists were solid. Since injuring his back on January 11, the Trail Blazers’ wing has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats, but Deni has been limited to 12 games. Portland plays four games in Week 21, but Avdija could be limited to three because of a wraparound back-to-back to end the week.

Williams missed Friday’s win over the Jazz as he continues to manage a knee injury. The 28-year-old center is set to return Sunday against the 76ers. He doesn’t have much fantasy value as the backup center.

Williams did not play in Friday’s win over the Jazz, leading Portland to go small when starting center Donovan Clingan was not on the court. They’re likely to take a similar approach if the Time Lord remains out on Sunday.

Henderson has scored at least 17 points in three straight games, his most productive scoring run of the season to date. While he was responsible for five turnovers, the overall production helps compensate for that. Henderson doesn’t bring much to the table defensively, and the field-goal percentage remains low, limiting his value in category leagues. To this point in his career, Scoot has been more valuable in points leagues.

Finishing with his 27th double-double of the season, Clingan also provided excellent value in the blocked shots category. The six rejections were a season-high for the second-year center, and two shy of his career-high. Since the All-Star break, Clingan has been a second-round player in fantasy basketball, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (90) by a significant distance. He’ll look to end Week 20 on a high note when Portland visits Philadelphia on Sunday.

Since the All-Star break, Holiday has scored at least 19 points in eight of the 11 games that he’s played. He had an excellent night against the Jazz, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and providing good value in rebounds, assists and three-pointers. Portland still has another game in Week 20, as they visit the 76ers on Sunday. Even more enticing for those who have Holiday rostered is that Portland opens its Week 21 with a game against the lottery-bound Nets on Monday.

Williams’ absence frees up minutes on the back end of the Trail Blazers’ rotation for Yang Hansen, who will slot in as the backup center. That isn’t enough to make the rookie worth the risk in redraft leagues, but he should be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Williams is on the report for injury management reasons, which could mean a return to the rotation for Yang Hansen. The rookie has been recalled from the Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate and is officially active. Hansen should only be rostered in dynasty leagues, and there would be no need to place him into active lineups if the Time Lord sits.

Clingan has recorded a double-double in two of his last three games and has at least 11 rebounds in four of his last five games. The 22-year-old center also made his impact felt on the defensive end with a steal and three blocks. Clingan has played under 30 minutes in four consecutive games, which has been a drag on his fantasy value lately.

Avdija returned from a back injury with 18 points in Sunday’s win over the Pacers. The story was similar Tuesday against the Hornets as he had 22 points, though the Trail Blazers lost. Avdija played 34 minutes Tuesday after playing 25 on Sunday, which is certainly a positive development as he’s now seemingly over his back injury. The Trail Blazers have two more games this week and Avdija should be available for both of them.

Back in the Trail Blazers’ lineup after a six-game absence, Avdija started and played 25 minutes on Sunday. Given the time off and how long his lower back injury has lingered, the Trail Blazers weren’t going to take any risks with the All-Star wing. Avdija missed all four of his three-point attempts, but fantasy managers can work with the rebounds, assists and blocks. Portland’s three-game Week 20 concludes with a back-to-back that extends into Week 21, so Avdija may be limited to two appearances.

Holiday was one of three Trail Blazers to score at least 21 points in Sunday’s victory, with Scoot Henderson and Jerami Grant being the others. The veteran guard shot 70 percent from the field against the Pacers, including 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. While the defensive production was limited, that isn’t an issue for Holiday on most nights.

Grant may not have done much in the rebound category, an unsurprising development for him, but he compensated for that with excellent production in other areas. The veteran forward has now scored at least 21 points in three straight and seven of his last eight games. Add in the three-pointers, steals and blocked shots, and Sunday was an excellent night to have Grant in fantasy lineups.

After struggling in two spot starts, Henderson returned to the bench on Sunday due to Deni Avdija’s return from a back injury. And the shift to his usual role may have done Scoot some good. The third-year guard recorded his first 20-point game of the season, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field. Also notable about Henderson’s complete stat line was his lack of turnovers. He didn’t commit any in Sunday’s victory, a major step in the right direction for the Trail Blazers guard. Portland plays three games in Week 20, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

Avdija is back after missing Portland’s last six games with a lower back injury. As a result, Scoot Henderson heads to the bench after struggling in two spot starts earlier this week. Kris Murray, who filled in for Avdija before missing the last two games, will also come off the bench.

Murray is back after missing Portland’s last two games. With Deni Avdija (back) also available, Murray will come off the bench, eliminating what little fantasy value he possessed when starting in place of the All-Star playmaker.

Avdija has missed Portland’s last six games with a lower back injury. With Kris Murray (illness) also out, the Trail Blazers turned to Scoot Henderson to serve as the fifth starter, and he struggled in the team’s last two games. If Murray can play and Avdija can’t look for him to return to the starting five.

Clingan bounced back with a solid effort after he was ejected after playing only 12 minutes in Wednesday’s win over the Grizzlies. The 22-year-old center had 18 points and 13 rebounds, giving him four double-doubles in his last six games. Clingan has provided top-40 per game value over the last two weeks. The Trail Blazers close out Week 19 against the Pacers on Sunday.
