Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) has been downgraded to out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ayton was listed as doubtful coming into this game and will officially sit out his fourth straight contest. In his absence, Duop Reath will move into the starting five on Wednesday. He has been playing well lately and is worth a look as a streaming option while Ayton remains sidelined.
Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (hand) is listed as doubtful ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ayton is in danger of missing his fourth straight game due to a right hand sprain. Duop Reath has been starting in his place and playing above expectations. He finished with 26 points while knocking down five 3-pointers during their last game. Reath appears to be a strong streaming choice until Ayton can get back on the court.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Grant was forced to sit out of Monday's game due to right quad soreness. His absence let Jabari Walker move into the starting five for Monday's game. He could very well receive another start if Grant is forced to miss another game. Walker has already been playing significant minutes, but a move to the starting unit would only increase his fantasy value.
Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (hip) won't play on Monday versus Minnesota. He's been forced out of the lineup by a sore left hip. Thybulle, who turned 27 on Monday, will miss only his third game of the season. With Deandre Ayton (hand), Jerami Grant (quadriceps), and Toumani Camara (illness) also ruled out for Monday, we're about to see a lot of unusual lineups by Portland, with Anfernee Simons the only remaining regular starter left standing.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quadriceps) won't play on Monday versus Minnesota. The 29-year-old injured his quad during Saturday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies and exited after logging just 15 minutes. Grant has averaged 21.1 points this season, so replacing that kind of production won't be easy. With Deandre Ayton (hand) also sidelined on Monday evening, Anfernee Simons is a lock for any fantasy lineup imaginable. At the same time, Jabari Walker could also thrive on the scoring end.
