Matisse Thybulle DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is on the injury report as questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Nuggets. Due to right ankle impingement, he might be absent for a third consecutive game. Thybulle's absence opens up minutes for Dalano Banton and Rayan Rupert, who will also benefit from Anfernee Simons' (knee) exit from the lineup. Banton has looked very promising with the Trail Blazers and should play a big role against a weakened Denver squad that won't have Jamal Murray (ankle) and Nikola Jokic (back) available on Saturday.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This doesn't come as much of a surprise given the Blazers place in the standings. They will likely continue to rest their players at anything less than 100 percent. Kris Murray will move into the starting five with Thybulle unable to play. Murray has posted back-to-back double digit scoring games, but that doesn't mean too much. He'll be a low-end streaming option for Friday's game.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has received a questionable tag ahead of their matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. He's been unable to play a full game over the team's last three games, so if he does return, it's unclear how many minutes he'll receive right away. They're dealing with a lot of injuries at the moment though, so Thybulle could be a decent streaming option in deeper leagues, but Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson should get most of the minutes in the backcourt. If he's unable to suit up again, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, and Dalano Banton will all see a large chunk of minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) has shaken off injury ahead of Monday's tilt against Chicago and will be available for the contest after missing one game. Thybulle has done very well lately to live up to his reputation as a defensive specialist, recording six blocks and nine steals across his last four appearances. He's ranked third in the league with 1.8 steals per game, and Thybulle's high-level defensive ability secures him regular playing time. However, the 27-year-old offers very little offensively, which is something fantasy managers always must consider.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is listed as questionable against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. Due to the high amount of injuries that this team has faced this season, Thybulle has been playing a lot more than he did the previous year. Two members of the backcourt have already been ruled out and Jerami Grant (hamstring) is currently doubtful. That means if Thybulle does play, he'd likely see north of 20 minutes in this contest. If he misses his second consecutive game, however, Dalano Banton, Scoot Henderson, and Jabari Walker would all see extra minutes on the floor.
