Fantasy Impact: Clingan has been sidelined for the past couple of weeks. He'll likely be eased back when he is able to return.

Anfernee Simons chipped in 14 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3PT, 3-3 FT) while also dishing out four assists, blocking one shot, and grabbing one rebound in the Trailblazers' 107-98 loss to the Lakers Sunday night.

Fantasy Impact: Simons continues a modest stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with seven or more points and five or more assists in each of his last five games. The guard has provided fantasy managers with a mostly reliable option in lineups as part of the Portland backcourt, averaging 16.5 points and 4.4 assists per game to go along with a usage rate of 24.7% so far this season.

Deandre Ayton posted a double-double for the Trailblazers Sunday night, grabbing 19 rebounds and scoring 14 points (7-14 FG, 0-2 3PT) while also blocking one shot, recording one steal, and dishing out one assist in a 107-98 loss to the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact: Ayton continues a steady stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with three or more rebounds and six or more points in each of his last five games. The 26-year-old has been one of the few reliable options in the Portland starting five to this point, averaging 14.2 points and 10.0 rebounds per game while carrying a usage of 19.6% so far this season.

Shaedon Sharpe led the Trailblazers offense Sunday night, scoring a team-high 19 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3PT, 3-4 FT) while also grabbing six rebounds and dishing out three assists in a 107-98 loss to the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact: Sharpe continues a solid stretch on the offensive end of the floor, posting 10 or more points in each of his last five games. The 21-year-old continues to grow in his second year for head coach Chauncey Billups, averaging 17.4 points per game to go along with a usage rate of 24.7% so far this season.

Scoot Henderson (quad) is questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Henderson has been out for four-straight games due to a quad injury, but it appears that he may be nearing a return. He's questionable for Friday's game, and the team may choose to play him if he's feeling good prior to tip-off. His return would mean less work for Dalano Banton moving forward.

Deni Avdija scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-3 3PT) to go along with three rebounds, three assists and one steal in the Trail Blazers 127-105 loss against the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: Avdija continues to make the most of his minutes off the bench. His upside remains a little more limited in his reserve role.

Toumani Camara scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3PT) to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Trail Blazers 137-131 loss against the Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact: Camara scored a season-high in points. He has recorded double-digit points in three of his past four games. He also knocked down a season-high five shots from deep.

Kris Murray (sternum) is probable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Murray is expected to play in Sunday's game, despite being listed on the injury report with a bruised sternum. He will likely get his usual workload against the Mavericks, but fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him from a fantasy perspective.

Jerami Grant (knee) is questionable to play in Sunday night's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Grant missed Portland's last game due to a knee injury, but it looks like he may be available to make his return in time for Sunday night's game. He's questionable as of now, and the team may take all the way up until game time to make a decision about his status. Deni Avdija will be the primary beneficiary if Grant misses another game for Portland.

Dalano Banton scored 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-6 3PT) to go along with two rebounds, two assists and five steals in the Trail Blazers 115-106 win over the Kings.

Fantasy Impact: Banton logged a career-high five steals to go along with an efficient night as a shooter. He'll remain in a larger role with the second unit while Scoot Henderson remains sidelined.

Matisse Thybulle suffered a Grade 2 right ankle sprain and is expected to miss three to six weeks. (Source: Casey Holdahl on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is a setback for Thybulle who was working his way back from a procedure on his knee. He'll miss at least a few more weeks.

Fantasy Impact: McGowens was waived by the Hornets. He'll likely remain off the fantasy radar with Portland.

The Trail Blazers traded Malcolm Brogdon and the 14th pick tonight and a 2029 pick to the Wizards for Deni Avdija. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: In his lone season with Portland, Brogdon averaged just under 16 points across 44 percent shooting from the field over 39 games. He joins Tyus Jones, Jordan Poole and Bilal Coulibaly in the back court if he remains with the Wizards.

Duop Reath scored 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with six rebounds, three steals and one block in the Blazers 121-82 loss against the Kings.

Fantasy Impact: Reath moved back to his reserve role where he made the most of his 24 minutes. He figures to remain in a similar role next season.

Jabari Walker is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings. (Source: Trail Blazers PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: If Walker is sidelined, Justin Minaya would figure to see some more minutes in his absence.

Fantasy Impact: The Trail Blazers rotation will remain short-handed. Minaya, Jabari Walker and Kris Murray should all be among the players who continue to see more minutes.

Ibou Badji is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans. (Source: Trail Blazers PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Badji remains off the fantasy radar.

Rayan Rupert (ankle) is active for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Rupert will be available to play on Saturday. This was the expected outcome, given that he had a probable tag coming into the day because of an ankle injury. He may not get much work, however, and fantasy managers are better off looking for another fantasy option to start.
