Clingan can ‘truly’ be a fantasy stud for Portland

Donovan Clingan has been putting it together as of late for the Portland Trail Blazers, and with an uptick in minutes, he could become a fantasy stud with multiple skills in his arsenal.

Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams (rest) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Thunder. W

Williams is back after missing Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. His return strengthens Portland’s center rotation and leaves fewer minutes for Yang Hansen.
Scoot Henderson

POR Guard #00

Scoot Henderson produced 13 points (4-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.

Unfortunately for fantasy managers who believed a move into the starting lineup would improve Henderson’s value, he hasn’t delivered. Since Ja Morant (hamstring) went down in an October 29 loss to the Grizzlies, Scoot’s category-league value has ranked outside the top-300 in nine-cat formats. Unsurprisingly, Jrue Holiday (11 points, one steal and one three-pointer) has been far more valuable, regardless of league format. Portland plays three games next week, starting with a home back-to-back against the Thunder on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Damian Lillard

POR Guard #0

Damian Lillard finished Saturday’s loss to the Spurs with 12 points (4-of-8 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), seven assists and two three-pointers.

Lillard’s streak of games with at least 20 points ended at four on Saturday, with the veteran point guard also attempting a season-low eight shots from the field. Lillard shot a solid percentage from the field, but many expected more, especially with Ja Morant (hamstring) sidelined. The good news is that Lillard played both games of Portland’s back-to-back. Saturday’s game was a blowout, so he played only 20 minutes.
Deni Avdija

POR Forward #8

Deni Avdija tallied 15 points (5-of-13 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.

Avdija led the Trail Blazers in points and field-goal attempts on Saturday, but the overall stat line was underwhelming. Deni didn’t shoot well from the field and recorded just one assist. Surprisingly, Avdija’s fantasy value has slipped after Ja Morant’s hamstring injury. Over the last five games, he sits just outside the top-200 in nine-cat formats. Avdija will look to contribute more when Portland hosts Oklahoma City on Tuesday.
Yang Hansen

POR Center #16

Yang Hansen finished Saturday’s loss to the Spurs with 12 points (3-of-7 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer.

There’s no such thing as “garbage time"; those minutes are vital for non-rotation players looking to give their coaches a reason to call their name when the stakes are higher. While Yang’s showing against the Spurs is unlikely to make him a fixture in the Trail Blazers’ rotation, it was a step forward. The former first-round pick recorded his first double-double, establishing new career highs in points and rebounds. As good as it was to see him perform well, Yang should still be rostered only in dynasty leagues.
Ja Morant

POR Guard #1

Trail Blazers head coach Micah Nori said on Saturday that Ja Morant (hamstring) “may not be out for as long as we thought.”

Morant, who suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain during an October 29 loss to the Grizzlies, was to be re-evaluated towards the end of November. However, according to Nori, a doctor in Los Angeles evaluated Morant and gave him a positive outlook on the injury. That’s good news for those rostering the athletic point guard, who was fitting in well with his new teammates at the time of the injury. Scoot Henderson will start until Morant is healthy enough to play.
Damian Lillard

POR Guard #0

Damian Lillard (Achilles) is available for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Lillard, who missed all of last season recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon, is available for the second game of Portland’s back-to-back, which is great news for fantasy managers. He played 37 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, so the question now is how much Lillard will play against the Spurs. Fantasy managers should anticipate a slight decrease in minutes, but not to the level where he shouldn’t be in active lineups.
Robert Williams

POR Center-Forward #35

Robert Williams (rest) is out for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams has only missed one game this season, but he’ll sit out Saturday against the Spurs to rest. Yang Hansen and Micah Potter should fill in the backup center minutes off the bench.
Toumani Camara

POR Forward #33

Toumani Camara notched 18 points (7-of-12 FGs), six rebounds, one assist and four three-pointers in Friday’s loss to the Lakers.

Despite being low on the Trail Blazers’ offensive pecking order, Camara has provided consistent value this season. He’s scored at least nine points in all eight games, cracking double figures in seven. Against the Lakers, Camara hit four three-pointers, the fifth time this season he’s made at least that many in a game. Surprisingly, there was no defensive production to speak of, but those rostering Camara should be pleased with the reliable offensive output.
Donovan Clingan

POR Center #23

Donovan Clingan finished Friday’s loss to the Lakers with 17 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 11 rebounds, one assist, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers.

Clingan seems to be hitting his stride after an inconsistent start to the season. The 7-foot-2 center has recorded a double-double in three straight games, and he shot 3-of-5 from beyond the arc against the Lakers. Over the last week, Clingan has provided second-round value in nine-cat formats. However, his final game of the week will offer a significant challenge, as the Trail Blazers host the Spurs on Saturday.
