Chris

Youngblood

Youngblood has been signed by Portland from Oklahoma City’s G League affiliate, and he’ll get a chance to play for the shorthanded Blazers in the NBA. Youngblood isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues, but managers should keep an eye on him for the final weeks of “silly season.”

Wednesday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Thunder, who took care of the Clippers on Tuesday. As a result, some rotation players, including Caruso, will not play. His absence may lead to legitimate rotation minutes for Brooks Barnhizer and Chris Youngblood, who are both on two-way contracts. Neither is a streaming candidate on an 11-game slate.
