Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) has been ruled out for the third consecutive game due to a right hip strain. Walker was receiving extra minutes this season since the Trail Blazers have dealt with lengthy injury reports and an ever-changing starting lineup. His best fantasy value came as a streaming option as he provided seven double-doubles this season and even a 20-point game. While he's watching from the sidelines, Toumani Camara, Matisse Thybulle, and Kris Murray will all see plenty of playing time. Jerami Grant (hamstring) will step back into his starting role as well if he's later upgraded to available.


Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards (ankle) is available ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Edwards appears ready to play after being listed as questionable earlier in the day. That is good news for the Wolves who are shorthanded for this game. Edwards has been red-hot lately and that should continue during Sunday's game. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him in their lineup before tip-off.


Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The big man will sit this game out after being listed as questionable coming into the contest. Naz Reid will be asked to pick up the slack with Karl Anthony-Towns (knee) sidelined as well. Reid is going to be forced to play big minutes, which makes him an appealing streaming option for Sunday's slate.


Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game in Portland. Tatum has missed only three games during the 2023-24 campaign. But the C's will play the Trail Blazers, one of the worst teams in the National Basketball Association. As a result, there's a chance he won't be out there on Monday night, and with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) already ruled out, Oshae Brissett and Xavier Tillman Sr. could be splitting time at the four spot.


Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) hasn't played in the team's last two games and is now in danger of missing a third consecutive contest. He's still suffering from a hamstring strain which can be one of the tougher injuries to fully heal from with all the stress on the muscle. The longer injury reports don't help Grant either since he'll play heavy minutes whenever he's feeling good enough to play. If he has to miss one more game, however, Toumani Camara and Kris Murray will remain in the starting lineup while Matisse Thybulle and Scoot Henderson will be the first two off of the bench. Camara seems to be the more consistent option out of the four but is a risky option this late in the fantasy season.
