Portland Trail Blazers DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (wrist) is considered day-to-day after sustaining a wrist injury. The 25-year-old incurred the injury during Portland's game on Tuesday against the Heat, with subsequent X-rays yielding negative results. The Trail Blazers' upcoming match is scheduled for Friday in Memphis against the Grizzlies. In the event Ayton is sidelined, Duop Reath is anticipated to assume a larger role and likely start in his place. Ayton maintains season averages of 14.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 31.6 minutes per game.

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton was limited to only 19 minutes of action against Miami on Tuesday due to a right-hand sprain. He was hurt when he took a hard fall late in the first quarter following a collision with Miami's Kevin Love. Ayton battled through the injury and had a great first half, but he exited the contest before the second half began. The Portland big man ended the game with 12 points, 10 rebounds, two steals, and one block. Duop Reath started the second half but finished scoreless. X-rays on Ayton's hand came back negative, but he's set to have some further testing. Portland returns to action on Friday versus Memphis.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) won't play against Golden State on Tuesday. He will sit out a third consecutive contest after being initially questionable for Tuesday's tilt. Landry Shamet (neck) has jumped into the starting unit for the last couple of games without Avdija, but he could also be out on Tuesday, with the team listing Shamet as questionable. Corey Kispert (illness) is also questionable, meaning Johnny Davis could be the next man up. Jordan Poole is also a candidate to rejoin the starting unit, and he will no doubt be eager to put on a show against this former team on Tuesday.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Golden State Warriors. He has missed the last two games because of a heel contusion. As a result, Bilal Coulibaly remained in the starting lineup and recorded 11 points, five rebounds, and two steals versus OKC on Friday. Unfortunately, the rookie suffered a pelvic contusion in Sunday's loss to Cleveland and is now out on Tuesday. Nonetheless, if Avdija returns versus the dubs, he should be featured in all fantasy lineups. However, if he misses another game, Corey Kispert (illness) could benefit from a production standpoint, assuming he's cleared to suit up.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdia (heel) remains out on Sunday evening versus the Cavaliers. The 23-year-old has a heel contusion, keeping him off the floor for Friday's matchup against OKC. He was questionable, so he's seemingly getting close to returning. But until Avdija is back in the lineup, Bilal Coulibaly, who had 11 points, five boards, and two steals on Friday, is worth streaming.
