Avdija has missed three straight games, but he’s got a chance to return against Washington. If Avdija is ultimately sidelined, Sidy Cissoko, Jerami Grant and Rayan Rupert should pick up the slack using a committee approach.

Williams III played through a questionable tag on Monday, but it’s unclear if he’ll do the same on the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set. With Duop Reath (foot) already sidelined, Portland could turn to Yang Hansen for backup center minutes behind Donovan Clingan.

Grant’s point total was boosted by a 10-of-15 night at the foul line, with the 15 attempts being the most in a game for him since he put up 19 in a November 24 win over the Bucks. However, after an excellent start to the season, Grant’s fantasy value has slipped since he returned from an Achilles injury that sidelined him for 14 games. The Trail Blazers’ forward is ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats since returning on January 15. Like Jrue Holiday, Grant’s minutes are being restricted, but he has logged 27 minutes in each of his last two appearances.

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.

Playing in Boston for the first time since being traded to Portland this past offseason, Holiday received a hero’s welcome on Monday. And while his playing time remains restricted, the veteran guard recorded a complete stat line in 24 minutes of action. Since returning from a strained calf, Holiday’s most significant issues with his fantasy value have been his minutes and foul shooting. Over the past two weeks, he’s shot 57.1 percent from the line on 1.2 attempts per game. However, there shouldn’t be too much concern, given he’s making 81.3 percent of his attempts on the season.

After reaching double figures in each of Portland’s first four games of 2026, Clingan has done so just three times in the last nine. The second-year center failed to do so on Monday, but he offered excellent production in the rebound and blocked shot categories. Despite the decreased scoring output, Clingan’s fantasy value hasn’t suffered too much because of what he brings to the table in other areas. Tuesday’s game against the Wizards may prove to be a better matchup for the 7-foot-2 pivot.

While Avidija is set to miss his third straight game, his return should come the following day against the Wizards on the second game of a back-to-back, head coach Tiago Splitter told reports. With Avdija out, Sidy Cissoko would likely slot in as a spot starter. Jerami Grant and Rayan Rupert will also soak up key wing minutes off the bench.

Williams is back after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Raptors, which was Portland’s second game in as many nights. Back in the city where he began his NBA career, the Time Lord will serve as Donovan Clingan’s backup.

Reath’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it could affect the Trail Blazers’ rotation. If Robert Williams (knee) can’t play, Yang Hansen would be the only available backup.

Williams did not play in Friday’s loss to the Raptors, which gave Yang Hansen additional minutes. However, the rookie should not be rostered in redraft leagues, especially with starter Donovan Clingan playing most of the minutes at center.

Avdija is questionable for Monday’s game against the Celtics with a lower back strain. The 25-year-old small forward left Thursday’s game against the Heat with a back injury and subsequently missed Friday’s game against the Raptors. There’s a chance Avdija returns Monday, but if not Shaedon Sharpe should see a boost in usage and thus fantasy value.

Clingan made the most of his 29 minutes of game action. He pulled down at least 15 rebounds for the fifth time already in January and made a three-pointer in his fourth straight game. The second-year center also set a new season-high in steals, bringing the defensive production despite not amassing any blocked shots. Clingan has made a nice jump from his rookie to sophomore season and should only get better going forward. His two-way versatility gives him a high ceiling in regard to fantasy basketball.

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.

Holiday’s production on the offensive end was one of the most important for Portland on Friday. He shot the ball well and contributed from behind the three-point line to finish as one of the team’s top couple of scorers. In addition to his passing, he set the table well for his teammates and finished as the Trail Blazers’ leader in assists. Despite the loss, the Blazers have built some momentum lately; they’ll continue to rely on Holiday’s veteran leadership to keep their season trending in the right direction.

Cissoko will get the start for Deni Avidja (back), who has been ruled out for the second game of a back-to-back. Without their best scorer, the Trail Blazers will rely on contributions from several players against the Raptors in order to obtain their fifth win in a row. Portland is currently in ninth place in the Western Conference standings.

Reath will miss his second consecutive game on Friday as he deals with a foot injury. Reath, in his third NBA season, has become a fringe rotation player for the Trail Blazers and doesn’t often log big minutes off the bench. His absence shouldn’t impact fantasy basketball in any way.

Avdija exited early on Thursday and was listed as doubtful for this game, so his official absence doesn’t come as a surprise. Sidy Cissoko will return to the starting lineup in his place, though he doesn’t hold much upside as a streamer.

Reath’s status is up in the air after not seeing the floor during the first leg of this back-to-back. Robert Williams (knee) is questionable, and while there is a chance he plays, it is far more likely he sits out. Reath should fill the backup center minutes if he is available, though the responsibility will fall to Yang Hansen if Reath is out.

Williams played on Thursday, and while there appears to be a chance he plays against Toronto, Williams hasn’t played both legs of a back-to-back this season. He will likely sit this out, which means Duop Reath (foot) or Yang Hansen will be tasked with the backup center minutes.

Avdija is now expected to miss this game despite confidence from head coach Tiago Splitter that he would be able to suit up after exiting early on Thursday. Even if it isn’t serious, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Sidy Cissoko should return to the starting lineup, though he shouldn’t be streamed in as a result.

Avdija exited early from Thursday’s game after feeling discomfort in his back. He just missed three games with a back injury, so they opted to play things safe. He should be good to go against Toronto, where he’ll look to stay red hot.

After being held to single digits for the first time since before Christmas on Sunday, Love was able to get back on track in this game. Still on a two-way deal, Love has been impressive as a scorer. He’s averaging 15.8 points per game in January, which is third among rookies. His fantasy impact is really just points and three-pointers, which gives him some value, but his impact is limited.

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.

Avdija was having an excellent night before his lower back flared up, tallying 20 points (6-of-11 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, four assists and two three-pointers in 18 minutes. Avdija missed three games earlier this month after injuring his lower back during a January 11 loss to the Knicks. Having Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant back in the lineup will help account for Avdija’s absence, and Caleb Love can also pick up some of the slack from a playmaking standpoint.

Williams is back after sitting out Portland’s last game, which was the second leg of a back-to-back. He’ll be back for this one, but he will likely be sidelined again on Friday against Toronto. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath should play more in that game after seeing smaller roles against Miami.

While Cissoko has started Portland’s last seven games, that may change on Thursday. Deni Avdija, Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant are all available, and either Holiday or Grant could join the starters. If so, Cissoko is the likely odd man out.

Not long after he was announced as probable, Holiday is officially available for Thursday’s game. His return will likely push Sidy Cissoko to the bench, giving the two-way contract forward a role that’s unlikely to generate much fantasy value.

Cissoko has started Portland’s last seven games, but that could end on Thursday, even if he is available to play. Jrue Holiday (calf) and Jerami Grant (Achilles), who did not play in Sunday’s win over the Kings, are also probable, and Deni Avdija made his return to the lineup in Sacramento. Cissoko hasn’t been a consistently reliable fantasy option, and his prospects will take a hit with Holiday and Grant available.
