Portland Trail Blazers

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) still isn't up to the standard of health that the team would like to see and he's listed as doubtful for their matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is going to be Grant's sixth consecutive game missed and his 16th missed game of the season. He's on pace to log his fourth consecutive season where he failed to reach 65 or more appearances. Especially for tanking sake, the Blazers aren't likely to push anyone back on the court this year. While he's sidelined, Kris Murray and Toumani Camara both remain the best streaming options.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. A right knee contusion cost Avdija Washington's prior three outings, but the fourth-year forward is cleared to play on Thursday. Avdija has reached double scoring figures in each of his last eight appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 three-pointers over this period. A 237.5-point implied total matches the highest figure on Thursday's seven-game slate, which should give the 23-year-old playmaker plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats for a Wizards club missing starting point guard Tyus Jones (back).

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. He was listed as doubtful since Tuesday night, so his layoff will extend to five games. It's anyone's guess when he'll be back, let alone return for Portland's rematch with Los Angeles on Friday night. Undoubtedly, Grant's absence hurts the offense, especially since he's one of the Trail Blazers top producers. But until he gets the green light to return, Toumani Camara and Jabari Walker will do their best to fill the void. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Camara and Walker aren't always reliable.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Kings. He's averaged a career-high 14.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season, so Washington has been without a vital piece of the offense. But if the 23-year-old doesn't return versus Sacramento, Corey Kispert, who had 16 points in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets, remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (hamstring) looks set to remain on the sidelines Wednesday versus the Clippers, with the team continuing to list him as doubtful on the injury report. He's had the designation for a bit, missing each of the last four games. Anfernee Simons and Deandre Ayton get extra offensive possessions without Grant, while Kris Murray and Toumani Camara have a chance to play a bigger part in the rotation. The latter two are struggling for consistency, and things could be even more complicated for them on Wednesday against a good defensive team.
