Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Robert Williams (knee) is questionable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Williams did not play in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies, as it was Portland’s second game in as many nights. If he’s unable to play against the 76ers, the Trail Blazers would turn to Yang Hansen to serve as the backup center. Williams’ absence would likely mean more minutes for starting center Donovan Clingan as well.
Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00

Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is probable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

After making his season debut in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies, Henderson did not play the following night. On track to play against the 76ers, he’ll likely be under a minutes restriction if cleared. Caleb Love could be made inactive, since he’s close to his 50-game limit.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija (back) is questionable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Due to his lower back injury, Avdija has missed Portland’s last two games. The Trail Blazers were also without Shaedon Sharpe for Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies, which prompted Sidy Cissoko to move into the starting lineup. If Avdija can play on Monday, his return may also lead to Caleb Love being made inactive as he approaches his 50-game limit.
Caleb Love

POR Guard #2

Caleb Love contributed 17 points (7-of-18 FGs), eight assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies.

With Portland getting healthier in the backcourt, Love’s opportunities aren’t going to be as plentiful as they were earlier this season. The rookie deserves credit for staying ready, as he chipped in with 17 points and eight assists in 27 minutes. Portland’s three-game start to Week 17 includes a back-to-back, so Love should be active for at least one game. However, due to the 50-game limit and Scoot Henderson’s return, Love won’t be much help to those competing in redraft leagues.
Jrue Holiday

POR Guard #5

Jrue Holiday accounted for 21 points (8-of-13 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and four three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Holiday certainly enjoyed seeing Memphis the last two days. In two Trail Blazers victories, he totaled 41 points on 14-of-25 shooting. While Holiday didn’t record any defensive stats on Saturday, the offensive output helps to compensate for that. He has been a top-50 player over the past week, but the playing time continues to hover in that 25-29 minute range. Portland plays three games before the All-Star break, including a back-to-back, which may not be ideal for those hoping to see Holiday play more.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan (thumb) amassed 20 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 19 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies.

Clingan injured his left thumb early in Saturday’s victory and had to get it taped up. That injury didn’t keep the second-year center from recording one of the best all-around lines of his career. He finished one board shy of his third 20-rebound game of the season, and Clingan’s fingerprints were also on this game as a scorer and defender. Clingan’s ability to play 36 minutes may be a sign that the thumb isn’t an issue, but more should be learned on Sunday. The Trail Blazers play five games in Week 17, with three scheduled for before the All-Star break.
Jerami Grant

POR Forward #9

Jerami Grant finished Saturday’s win over the Grizzlies with 29 points (10-of-17 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), five rebounds, three assists and six three-pointers.

Grant put on a show on Saturday, shooting 6-of-10 from beyond the arc. He’s scored at least 23 points in three consecutive games, and the 29 recorded against the Grizzlies were the most in a game for the veteran forward since putting up 35 in a December 14 win over the Warriors. While the rebounding and defensive output limit his fantasy ceiling, Grant is worth rostering for those seeking points and three-pointers.
Sidy Cissoko

POR Guard #91

Jrue Holiday, Sidy Cissoko, Toumani Camara, Jerami Grant and Donovan Clingan will start Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies.

The Trail Blazers won’t have Deni Avdija or Shaedon Sharpe for Saturday’s game, so Cissoko moves into the starting lineup. While not usually worth the risk as a deep-league streamer, this may be the night to gamble on Sidy, given how shorthanded the Grizzlies are.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija (back) is out for Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Avdija will miss a second consecutive game due to his back injury, which means Jerami Grant will continue to start. The question is who will step in as the fifth starter, as Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is also out. Caleb Love could be the next man up, and he would be worth streaming in deep leagues if allowed to start.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams (knee) is out for Saturday’s game against the Grizzlies.

Williams played 19 minutes in Friday’s win over the Grizzlies. His absence for Saturday’s rematch means more opportunities for Yang Hansen, but not enough to make the rookie worth streaming in redraft leagues since Donovan Clingan is available.
