Ish

Wainright

Gordon has missed their last two games, but he is expected to return to the lineup on Friday. He will see big minutes off the bench alongside Royce O’Neale, which will push Ish Wainright out of the rotation.

While Mays played a large role for Portland in November, he hasn’t been part of the rotation since Malcolm Brogdon and Anfernee Simons returned to the lineup. Wainright has spent a large portion of the season injured, so his release won’t impact the rotation either. However, the Blazers went from 15 players rostered to just 13, which is a sign that another move may be coming soon. They also avoided having to fully guaranteeing those contracts by waiving them before Sunday at 5pm ET.

Wainright will remain sidelined until late December, but his absence won’t open up many minutes. Despite the laundry list of injuries that the team has dealt with, Wainright has hardly played this season.

Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Wainright has now been ruled out. He’s played five minutes in two appearances for the Trail Blazers, so his absence will not impact fantasy basketball.

Wainright is a late addition to the Trail Blazers’ injury report in a concerning turn of events. He’s only appeared in two games this season, playing a total of five minutes, so a potential absence would not impact fantasy basketball.

Wainright is available to make his Trail Blazers debut on Sunday, giving Chauncey Billups another frontcourt option off the bench. However, given the time missed, there’s no need for fantasy managers to add Wainright until it’s clear what his place in the rotation will be.

Malcolm Brogdon has started each of the last two games for Portland, posting 21.0 points, 10.5 assists, 7.0 boards and 2.0 steals in the process. He’s a magnificent stream for as long as Scoot remains out.

Wainright will not be available for another game, which protects the minutes of rookie Toumani Camara. While he isn’t worth adding in most leagues right now, Camara is a player deep-league managers should keep an eye on. He could potentially have value later in the season if the Trail Blazers aren’t in the conversation for a play-in tournament spot.

Wainright has yet to make his Trail Blazers’ debut, and that won’t change Monday night. His continued absence has impacted rookie Toumani Camara the most, as he’s served as Jerami Grant’s primary backup. That said, Camara isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

Wainright has yet to make his Trail Blazers debut, and he’ll have to wait at least one more game to change that. With Portland being a bit thin at the four behind starter Jerami Grant, rookie Toumani Camara played credible rotation minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers. He still isn’t worth rostering in any fantasy leagues.
