Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Jazz.

Williams is back on the injury report due to left knee injury management. While his status does not affect starting center Donovan Clingan, it does affect fellow reserves Yang Hansen and Duop Reath. While one or both could land in the rotation if Williams sits, neither is worth rostering in redraft leagues.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (Achilles) is out for Monday’s game against the Jazz.

Monday’s game will be the tenth that Grant has missed due to left Achilles tendonitis, an injury that the Trail Blazers said would not be a long-term issue. Kris Murray has been his replacement in the starting lineup, and that should not change on Monday.
Toumani Camara

POR Forward #33

Toumani Camara recorded 20 points (7-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Spurs.

Camara isn’t an elite three-point shooter, but he has upped his production in that category. The Trail Blazers’ wing has hit multiple three-pointers in six straight and nine of his last ten appearances. However, Camara’s percentages have decreased, as has the defensive production. For those reasons, he’s ranked outside the top-200 in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. While managers in deep leagues can afford to remain patient, standard-league managers who have Camara rostered have a decision to make ahead of Portland’s four-game Week 12.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan tallied 24 points (9-of-12 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Spurs.

Clingan has recorded four double-doubles in his last five appearances, with Saturday’s ranking among his best of the season. The 7-foot-2 center notched a season-high point total and matched his previous high in made three-pointers. Clingan didn’t record any defensive stats on Saturday, but over the past two weeks, he has offered sixth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija accounted for 29 points (9-of-23 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), 11 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Spurs.

Avdija continues his charge toward a first All-Star Game appearance. One night removed from dropping his first 30-point double-double in over a month, the Trail Blazers forward finished Saturday’s win with his third triple-double. And in another positive trend, Avdija is steadily cleaning up the turnovers. He was responsible for two on Saturday, matching his number in Friday’s win over the Pelicans. Portland opens a four-game Week 12 on Monday against the Jazz.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant (Achilles) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Saturday.

Portland insisted this injury won’t be a long-term issue, but Grant will miss a ninth consecutive game on Saturday. Hopefully the time off will prevent this from being a long-term issue, but Kris Murray should remain a starter for at least one more game.
Caleb Love

POR Guard #2

Caleb Love tallied 22 points (7-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and six three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Pelicans.

The many injuries that the Trail Blazers have dealt with on the perimeter opened the door for Love, and the undrafted rookie out of Arizona has taken advantage. He’s now reached double figures in six straight games, providing top-100 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Rostered in seven percent of Yahoo! leagues, Love is worth a look in deeper formats while guys like Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson are out. As a two-way contract player, he’s limited to 50 games, and the rookie has played 27. We’ll see if Love can do enough to earn a standard deal before hitting the 50-game mark.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan recorded 11 points (5-of-10 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot in Friday’s win over the Pelicans.

Since missing three games in early December with a leg injury, Clingan has hit double digits in rebounds in eight of his 11 appearances. Friday’s double-double was his 11th of the season and fifth since returning from injury, with the second-year center providing eighth-round per-game value in nine-cat formats. Robert Williams III (four points, six rebounds, one assist and one blocked shot) played 18 minutes off the bench; as long as Clingan can meet or exceed 30 minutes, as he did on Friday, his fantasy value will be fine.
Shaedon Sharpe

POR Guard #17

Shaedon Sharpe accounted for 23 points (9-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Pelicans.

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.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija accumulated 34 points (10-of-19 FGs, 11-of-14 FTs), seven rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Pelicans.

Avdija has recorded a double-double in three of his last four games, but this was his first with at least 30 points in over a month. The Trail Blazers’ forward continues to flourish despite being thrust into a lead playmaker role that he had seldom taken on in the past. Another positive for fantasy managers on Friday was that Avdija only committed two turnovers; that category has been problematic at times. Portland ends its Week 11 schedule with a game against the Spurs on Saturday.
