Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season with a knee injury. Williams has missed 11 of the team's last 12 games with left knee soreness. He was last available when the Blazers lost to the New York Knicks on March 12 but did not play. Williams has played 20 games this season, averaging 5.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game with his field goal percentage being 64.1%. When he plays, Williams flashes his talent, but he hasn't been able to stay consistently healthy.


Portland Trail Blazers small forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Grant is in danger of missing his eighth consecutive game due to right knee tendinitis. If he doesn't suit up against the Cleveland Cavaliers, his next chance to play will be on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. This season, Grant has been averaging 14.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, shooting an inefficient 37.3 % from the field. Shaedon Sharpe is most likely going to start for Portland if Grant remains sidelined.


Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (calf) won't play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Ayton has averaged 14.5 points and 10.4 rebounds per game in 39 games during the 2024-25 season. Prior to his left calf injury, Ayton played an instrumental role for the Blazers from January 19 to February 8, averaging 17.9 points on 57.4% shooting, along with 12 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 block per game. Donovan Clingan will remain the starting center in Ayton's absence.


According to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel,Miami Heat guard/forwardDuncan Robinson(back) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Robinson will miss the game due to lower back pain. The 30-year-old had started five of the six games ahead of Tuesday. While Robinson is on the shelf, Jaime Jaquez Jr.,Davion Mitchell, andAlec Burksare the candidates who could see expanded roles this evening. Among the three players, Mitchell has delivered the most consistent fantasy output.


Orlando Magic guardCole Anthony(toe) won't play on Monday versus the Charlotte Hornets. He's battling a sprained toe, so he'll miss his fourth straight game on Tuesday night.Cory Joseph, who finished with five points, five assists and four rebounds across 17 minutes against the Lakers on Monday, will presumably remain in the starting lineup instead of Anthony. However, Joseph's minutes may be reduced asAnthony Black posted 17 points, six assists, five rebounds, one block and one steal in his last outing.
