Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jeraim Grant finished Friday’s win over the Timberwolves with 26 points (10-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, three steals, one block and four three-pointers.

After scoring 12 points in the first half of Friday’s victory, he was two points better in the second half as the Trail Blazers withstood a Minnesota rally. Having totaled 20 points on 8-of-20 shooting in his prior two appearances, the veteran forward needed a night like Friday. And the Trail Blazers will need more production from Grant moving forward, starting with Sunday’s game against the Nuggets.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija accounted for 25 points (7-of-18 FGs, 9-of-11 FTs), eight rebounds, five assists and two three-pointers in Friday’s win over the Timberwolves.

While turnovers remain an issue for Avdija, who committed four on Friday, his scoring output has picked up recently. Since his most recent absence due to a lingering lower back injury, the Trail Blazers wing has scored at least 17 points in seven straight games. Over the past two weeks, Avdija has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan tallied 21 points (9-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, four assists, one steal, three blocks and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves struggled to come up with an answer for Clingan during the first half of Friday’s game, as the second-year center recorded 17 points, 11 rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots. Minnesota did a better job with Clingan in the second half, but it wasn’t enough to keep Portland from leaving with the win. Clingan will have another challenging individual matchup on Sunday, as he and the Trail Blazers visit the Nuggets.
Vít Krejčí

POR Guard #27

Vit Krejčí (calf) is out for Friday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Krejčí, whose opportunities decreased before his calf injury, will miss a third consecutive game on Friday. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball.
Vít Krejčí

POR Guard #27

Vít Krejčí (calf) is questionable to play against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Krejčí has missed Portland’s last two games and is in danger of missing a third straight game. However, his role has dwindled recently, so his status won’t alter the Trail Blazers’ rotation.
Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday finished Wednesday’s win over the Pacers with 15 points (5-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists, two steals and four three-pointers.

After dishing out eight assists in a March 13 win over the Jazz, Holiday totaled seven assists in the two games that followed. The veteran point guard was more productive in that category on Wednesday, dishing out eight helpers while committing just one turnover. Add in the steals and three-pointers, and this was a good night for category league managers rostering Holiday.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan produced 28 points (10-of-19 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers.

The Pacers struggled to come up with an answer for Clingan, who punished them on the glass and from beyond the arc on Wednesday. He dropped a season-high point total while matching his previous high with three three-pointers. Clingan finished with a complete stat line, providing fantasy managers with excellent value, especially when including percentages. Portland plays two more games in Week 21, starting with the Timberwolves on Friday.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija amassed 32 points (9-of-21 FGs, 13-of-16 FTs), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Pacers.

The Pacers had no answer for Avdija or Donovan Clingan on Wednesday, as they combined to score 60 of the Trail Blazers’ 125 points. For the former, this was his first 30-point game since a January 18 win over the Kings. Given the hit that Avdija’s production has taken since the back injury he suffered in mid-January, fantasy managers aren’t going to lose any sleep over his five turnovers against the Pacers.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams III (knee) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Pacers.

Williams is back after sitting out Monday’s win over the Nets, which was Portland’s second game in as many days. He’ll slot in as Donovan Clingan’s backup, which limits the Time Lord’s fantasy value.
Vít Krejčí

POR Guard #27

Vit Krejčí (calf) is questionable to play against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Krejčí missed Monday’s game but could return to take on Indiana. He has only played a small role recently and hasn’t provided much in the box score since being traded to Portland. His status won’t impact the team’s rotation.
