Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jrue Holiday (calf) accounted for eight points (2-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks.

After missing nearly two months with a strained calf, Holiday was back in the Trail Blazers’ rotation on Sunday. He played 16 minutes off the bench, with the minutes limit preserving some of Sidy Cissoko’s playing time. Cissoko remained in the starting lineup and finished with five points, two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer in 28 minutes. As Holiday continues to ramp up his activity, there will likely come a point where he and Cissoko switch roles.
Caleb Love

POR Guard #2

Caleb Love tallied 21 points (8-of-18 FGs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks.

Love continues to produce like a player intent on securing his NBA future. Jrue Holiday’s return on Sunday did not bounce the rookie from the rotation, due partly to the absences of Jerami Grant and Kris Murray despite not sharing a position with those two. Love, who’s on a two-way deal, has five 20-point games this season. Providing 11th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks, Love may be worth holding onto in dynasty leagues despite the contract status.
Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe recorded 23 points (9-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Sunday’s loss to the Knicks.

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.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija (back) finished Sunday’s loss to the Knicks with 25 points (8-of-17 FGs, 8-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, four assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer.

Avdija finished Sunday’s defeat with another solid stat line, but that isn’t the key takeaway. He left with just under two minutes remaining after landing awkwardly and tweaking something in his lower back. While acting head coach Tiago Splitter had no information during his postgame press conference, he said he was “worried” about the injury. Even with Jrue Holiday returning from his calf injury on Sunday, losing Avdija would be significant for Portland.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams III (knee) is available for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Williams is back after having to leave Friday’s game against the Rockets prematurely due to a sore right knee. His return means fewer minutes will be available for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, with the latter likely falling out of the rotation entirely.
Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday (calf) is available for Saturday’s game against the Knicks.

Holiday is available to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. While the veteran guard’s minutes will be limited, he could start. If Holiday starts, Sidy Cissoko may be the odd man out. Either way, Cissoko’s playing time will likely decrease.
Kris Murray

POR Forward #24

Kris Murray (back) has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain and there’s no timetable for his return.

Murray suffered a back injury in Monday’s game against the Jazz. The 25-year-old small forward has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain in his lower back and the Trail Blazers say that they will update his status “as appropriate.” With Jerami Grant (Achilles) also out, Sidy Cissoko figures to start again Sunday.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams III (knee) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Williams was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. It’s likely the 28-year-old center will return after leaving Friday’s win over the Rockets with right knee soreness. Williams will assume his role as one of the backup centers, but he isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues at this point.
Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday (calf) is probable for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Holiday was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. The 35-year-old point guard is now likely to appear in a game for the first time since November 14. Holiday is likely to be on a minutes restriction due to all the time he’s missed this season.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Knicks.

Williams exited Friday’s win over the Rockets with a sore right knee. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, the tandem of Yang Hansen and Duop Reath will handle the backup center responsibilities. Neither should be rostered in redraft leagues.
