Portland Trail Blazers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Indiana. He has missed the last seven games because of a right index finger contusion. But with Robert Williams III (concussion) and Donovan Clingan (knee) both out, the team could certainly use Ayton back on the floor. With that in mind, if the 2018 No. 1 overall pick can't suit up, Duop Reath would presumably be in line to handle things underneath the rim. Reath hasn't seen much action this season. However, he averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 boards, and 37.4% shooting from behind the arc in 20 starts last season. As a result, Reath would be worth streaming, and his potential for more production could be greater if Jerami Grant (knee) and Scoot Henderson (back) are ruled out.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) won't return to Monday's meeting with the Grizzlies. He was on the injury report heading into this one because of an illness. However, the 30-year-old was cleared to suit up. Unfortunately, he was ruled out with a left knee injury, so he'll finish the night with 11 points and two steals. With that in mind, Grant will likely undergo further testing, and it's possible he appears on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. If he can't get on the floor, Toumani Camara could slide into the starting lineup.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (concussion) won't return to Monday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Blazers entered Monday night without Deandre Ayton (finger) and Donovan Clingan (knee), resulting in Williams getting the start. Unfortunately, he logged only 12 minutes on the night before exiting for a concussion evaluation, although he still totaled six points, six rebounds, three blocks, and one steal. Portland will play again on Wednesday night versus Indiana, so it's possible Williams carries an injury designation heading into that one, assuming he's not ruled out by then. But if Portland is down Williams, Ayton, and Clingan, Duop Reath might get the start. Reath has played sparingly during the 2024-25 campaign. But he averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and shot 37.4% from deep in 20 starts last season, meaning there could be a streaming opportunity on the horizon.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (finger) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. As expected, Ayton will miss his seventh game in a row after being listed as doubtful ahead of this game. The absence of Ayton should mean that Robert Williams III continues getting increased playing time. Williams is off the injury report and back in the mix after sitting out on Saturday. He's averaging 10.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across six games this season.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Grant has been dealing with a minor illness, but will play through it here. He figures to play his normal role in the rotation, so fantasy managers can get him back in there on Monday. The 30-year-old is averaging 16.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 33 minutes per game this season. He's coming off a solid 22-point outing during his last game and will hopefully be able to keep it going here.
