Cissoko

Cissoko is once again available after being listed as questionable with an illness. The 21-year-old point guard had zero points in seven minutes off the bench in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets.

Cissoko was also questionable ahead of Saturday’s loss to the Hornets, going on to play seven minutes off the bench. If cleared, his workload may not change much, so there’s no need to slot Cissoko into fantasy lineups.

Cissoko is available after initially being listed as questionable with an illness. The 21-year-old guard came off the bench and had three points in 17 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Bulls.

Sharpe is set to miss his seventh consecutive game with strained left calf. Sidy Cissoko and Scoot Henderson figure to start with Deni Avdija (back) also out.

Avdija is good to go after logging 30 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Nuggets. Expect him to take on a similar workload on Sunday, which eliminates most of Sidy Cissoko’s streaming value.

Avdija is on the injury report due to lower back injury management. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, the Trail Blazers may turn to Sidy Cissoko to fill the void. Cissoko is only worth a look in deep leagues, but he should not be considered a must-stream player.

Cissoko played all of the allowable games on his two-way deal, but he’ll get a standard deal to stay with the Blazers for two more years. Multiple injuries have given Cissoko the opportunity to play regular rotation minutes for Portland, and he’s done well with that opportunity.

Avdija will sit out the second game of a back-to-back against the Jazz on Thursday for low back injury management reasons. With Avdija sidelined, Sidy Cissoko should see more minutes.

Avdija has been dealing with a back issue, and he could get the night off for the second leg of the Blazers’ back-to-back set. If Avdija is ultimately ruled out, Sidy Cissoko could see increased run.

Avdija is back after a four-game absence. His return will likely push Sidy Cissoko to the bench, where the young wing offers limited fantasy value.
