Jabari Walker DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is bad timing with Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Deandre Ayton (hand) sidelined as well. The Blazers are going to be forced to rely on Toumani Camara and Duop Reath to play big minutes in the rotation. Both players could be viable streaming options given the Blazers' lack of depth. Hopefully, Walker can return after this game, but fantasy managers will have to check back for another update.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (hip) is on the latest injury report and has been tagged as questionable with a right hip contusion. Walker is one of eight Blazers that made an appearance on the injury report and only three seem to have a chance of playing on Friday. The 21-year-old has seen some very high-minute games but also some that are like the last game where he only received 18 minutes. If he's able to play while the others listed as questionable do not, then he should have a much bigger role against the Houston Rockets. If he's unable to suit up though, Jerami Grant (questionable - hamstring) and Kris Murray should remain in the starting five and receive more minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Walker was uncertain coming into this game, but will officially suit up. However, Walker will come off the bench with Toumani Camara, and Deandre Ayton starting on Friday. Fantasy managers who already have Walker rostered should hold him for the moment. The Blazers season is headed in the wrong direction and it wouldn't be shocking to see them give Walker more playing time in the second half.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for the team's matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. The 21-year-old has played a bigger role for the Blazers this season as the injuries have piled up and the team continues to look for their building blocks moving forward. Walker is receiving an average of 11 more minutes a night than his rookie season and he has turned that into 8.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on 46.9% shooting from the floor. Walker has only missed four games this year and those were back in the beginning of January. Those fantasy managers in deeper leagues who depend on Walker will want to keep tabs leading up to tipoff, but if he doesn't play, Toumani Camara and Duop Reath would likely get some extra minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (knee) could be out for another game on Thursday against the Thunder. The team has listed him as questionable for the contest due to left knee tendinitis. The issue has kept Walker out from three games already. Walker's absence has given an opportunity for Toumani Camara, Ibou Badji, and Duop Reath to log more minutes. Reath has been the best fantasy piece from the trio, although his performances also tend to fluctuate.
