Badji

Badji spent his rookie season in Portland, appearing in 22 games for the Trail Blazers. He didn’t offer much value, averaging 1.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 10.3 minutes. Milwaukee already has 14 players on guaranteed deals, so the decision to subsequently waive Badji was unsurprising. Look for him to land with the team’s G League affiliate.

Badji was available for Sunday’s game against the Celtics but did not play. With Deandre Ayton and Duop Reath available, expect the same on Tuesday.

Badji was available to play in their last game after missing their previous outing. However, he didn’t see the floor. His availability will not impact fantasy basketball.

Badji is available after a one-game absence, but this will not impact fantasy basketball. Deandre Ayton and Duop Reath will continue to play the lion’s share of the minutes at the center position.

Badji missed their last game, but he could return for this one. However, he hasn’t seen the floor enough this season to impact fantasy basketball.

While the Blazers have left a slim hope that Grant will play due to his frequently being considered doubtful, fantasy managers should operate under the assumption that he won’t play again this season. If he does, great. Jabari Walker and Kris Murray will continue to serve as the starting forwards, and they should be rostered in deep leagues. As for Badji, his absence does not impact fantasy basketball.

Neither player has seen the floor much when healthy, so their availability for this game will not impact fantasy basketball whatsoever.

Ayton has been available to play for their last seven games, but there is a chance that he is sidelined on Friday. If that happens, Duop Reath will likely get the start at center, with Jabari Walker backing him up and Ibou Badji returning to the rotation. This is the first game of a back-to-back, so Ayton’s status will be important when it comes to streaming over the next two days.

This will be a second straight absence for Reath, and with Deandre Ayton back, Jabari Walker and Ibou Badji should fill out the reserve post minutes. Badji isn’t a player to roster, but Walker should still play big mintues as a reserve.

There was some confusion with the Blazers’ starting lineup, as it was initially reported that Ibou Badji would start if Duop Reath could not play. But Walker would receive the starting nod, with Badji serving as his backup. Walker played well, recording his first double-double since January 23. Despite being listed as 6-foot-7, Walker can play the four or the five, and all his minutes were played at the latter position. He’ll continue to have value in deep leagues, and there could come a time later in the season when Walker can be streamed in standard formats. As for Badji, he only played 10 minutes, going scoreless with two assists and two blocks.
