Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (face) will remain on the shelf for a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday against New Orleans. He has yet to recover from a facial contusion. Deni Avdija (wrist) has joined the starting five during Grant's absence but might also exit the lineup on Wednesday, as Portland has listed him as questionable on the injury report. Murray has received an uptick in minutes with Grant missing, and he may now find himself as a starter if Avdija also can't play on Wednesday. The 24-year-old finished his rookie campaign as a starter in Portland last season, averaging 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in the first unit.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (face) will miss his fourth game due to a face contusion on Monday. He was ruled out against the Detroit Pistons quite early, so it's unclear how much more time he'll have to miss. His next chance to play will be Wednesday against the Pelicans. In the meantime, Toumani Camara and Shaedon Sharpe will continue to get some extra time in the starting five with Kris Murray seeing more opportunities off of the bench. Camara has been enjoying a solid three-game stretch with averages of 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (face) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. This marks the third game in a row that Grant has been forced to miss due to a facial contusion. His next chance to play will be against the Detroit Pistons on Monday. In the meantime, Deni Avdija will continue seeing an increased role. Avdija has been playing well lately and is worth rostering in most fantasy formats right now. He should continue seeing a bigger role until Grant is able to play again.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (face) will not suit up for Thursday's clash with the Lakers. He must sit out a second consecutive game due to a facial contusion. Deni Avdija will likely earn another start because of Grant's absence. The talented forward left many fantasy managers frustrated with his 10 turnovers on Monday versus Philadelphia, but Avdija is in the midst of a strong stretch. He averaged 16.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in December. Kris Murray also figures to play a larger role in the rotation without Grant, but he has not been a reliable source of fantasy value.
