Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable for Monday’s matchup with the Mavericks.

Time Lord sat out on Sunday against the Celtics, and there’s a chance he sits out the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set. If he’s out, Yang Hansen and Duop Reath should see additional run in the frontcourt backing up Donovan Clingan.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (Achilles) is out for Monday’s matchup with the Mavericks, and Kris Murray (quad) is questionable.

Grant will sit out again, which could open up additional opportunities for Murray if he plays. If Murray ends up sitting out, Sidy Cissoko could see a major jump in playing time. Cissoko is worth streaming in deeper leagues only.
Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe accumulated a team-high 26 points (10-of-20 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes on Sunday, leading the Trail Blazers to a 114-108 win over the Celtics.

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.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan posted a double-double with 18 points (8-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 18 rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Sunday’s win over the Celtics.

Clingan was a force of nature on the glass against Boston’s lackluster frontcourt, pulling down seven offensive rebounds as part of a monster effort. The 21-year-old former lottery pick came up with a clutch offensive board in the closing seconds, converting a three-point play to give Portland a commanding four-point lead. He’s put together a strong stretch of late, averaging 13.3 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.3 steals and 1.3 blocks over his past four games.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija amassed 24 points (8-of-16 FGs, 5-of-10 FTs), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and two blocks over 38 minutes during Sunday’s comeback win over the Celtics.

Avdija, who leads the league in free-throw attempts this season, went just 5-of-10 from the charity stripe in this one, but he was a big reason why Portland shook off a rocky start to put together an impressive win over one of the hottest teams in the league. He hit a clutch floater in the final minute to give Portland a four-point advantage and finished three rebounds shy of a triple-double. The 25-year-old has hit a bit of a rough patch recently but he’s still delivered top-60 fantasy value this season, averaging 25.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.7 blocks through 32 games.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams III (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Portland has games on Sunday and Monday, so Williams was bound to sit out one of them. His absence will likely result in Yang Hansen and Duop Reath assuming the backup center responsibilities, but neither player should be rostered in redraft leagues.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (Achilles) is out for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Sunday’s game will be the fifth that Grant has missed due to left Achilles tendonitis. Kris Murray has been the replacement in the starting lineup, but he has not done enough to merit being streamed in any fantasy league.
Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe accumulated 16 points (7-of-19 FGs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and two three-pointers in the loss to the Clippers on Friday.

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.
Toumani Camara

POR Forward #33

Toumani Camara added 20 points (6-of-16 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), three rebounds and five three-pointers in the loss to the Clippers on Friday.

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.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija totaled 29 points (10-of-19 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and two three-pointers in the loss to the Clippers on Friday.

Avdija flirted with a triple-double on Friday, ultimately landing one assist and one rebound shy of the feat. He dominated inside the arc and found scoring in several ways, including at the rim, in the midrange, and by working his way to the charity stripe, before finishing as Portland’s leading scorer. Avidja has had a breakout sixth NBA season and is performing like one of the most productive forwards in the league. As the clear No. 1 option, he’ll likely continue to put up big numbers for the Trail Blazers and be an impact player in fantasy leagues.
