Branden Carlson (concussion) has been ruled out against the Suns on Wednesday.

Carlson will be unavailable for the season opener, but Portland has plenty of depth down low. He may not have seen the floor even if he was healthy.

Chris Youngblood

POR Guard #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Chris Youngblood (ankle) and Branden Carlson (concussion protocol) are out for Friday’s game against the Kings.

The continued absences of Youngblood and Carlson will not affect fantasy basketball, as neither is guaranteed rotation minutes when healthy.
Branden Carlson

OKC Center

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that the Trail Blazers have agreed to a one-year deal with Branden Carlson.

Carlson spent the past two seasons with the Thunder, where he appeared in 74 regular-season games. His playing time was limited, but when given a good chunk of minutes down the stretch of the most recent regular season, he produced quality numbers and showed potential as a floor-spacing big. His path to fantasy relevancy is very far away, but a new situation with the Trail Blazers could present more opportunities.
Branden Carlson

OKC Center #15

Branden Carlson posted a full line on Sunday with 26 points (10-of-20 FGs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, five blocks and five three-pointers against the Suns.

Carlson got a second straight start, and he was incredibly productive in both. He contributed 49 points, 22 rebounds, six blocks and eight triples as a starter over the last two games. Carlson is on a two-way deal, and he spent most of the season in the G League. With Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein both healthy, Carlson won’t see the floor much outside of blowouts during the playoffs.
Branden Carlson

OKC Center #15

Branden Carlson had 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), 12 rebounds, five assists, one block and three three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets.

Carlson has appeared in 72 games over the last two seasons with the Thunder, but hasn’t distinguished himself very much in his 9.1 minutes per game. That changed on Friday as he played 37 minutes and had a great game against the Nuggets. Carlson had 23 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. He’s still buried on the depth chart when the Thunder’s regulars are healthy and active.
Nikola Topić

OKC Guard #44

Nikola Topić, Jared McCain, Luguentz Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Branden Carlson will start Friday’s game against the Thunder.

Dort, who needs to play in one more game to be eligible for postseason honors, is the lone starter available for Friday’s game. Of the four replacements, McCain and Wiggins offer the highest ceilings for those in active fantasy leagues.

Branden Carlson (back) is off the injury report for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Due to a back injury, Carlson has been out since February 25. His return will not affect fantasy basketball, as Chet Holmgren, Isaiah Hartenstein and Jaylin Williams are also available for Monday’s game.

Isaiah Joe (hip) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Joe exited early on Sunday, and there is a chance that hip injury keeps him sidelined against New York. Kevin Huerter played 25 minutes off the bench against Philadelphia following Joe’s early exit and should see a minutes boost once again if Joe remains out.

NYK Guard #5

Jose Alvarado (ankle) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Tuesday.

Alvarado will miss a second straight game, which means the backup point guard minutes will go to Miles McBride and Tyler Kolek. McBride played 13 minutes in Sunday’s loss and wasn’t able to provide much value, while Kolek dished out nine assists in 15 minutes. Kolek should be the better streaming option, though only for managers in deep leagues who are desperate for some dimes.

Mikel Brown Jr. (ankle) is not on the injury report ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Celtics.

Brown sat out against the Pacers on Sunday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. They’ll continue to be cautious with his ankle injury, which means he will likely remain on a minutes restriction against Boston. They have another back-to-back this weekend, so expect Brown to sit one of those games.

Ausar Thompson (ankle) is questionable to play against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Thompson missed Sunday’s game against the 76ers after injuring his ankle on Friday. Daniss Jenkins replaced him in the starting lineup, with Ron Holland II and Javonte Green taking on larger roles off the bench. The rotation would likely be similar if Ausar remains out, with Jenkins being the preferred streaming option.
