Jerami Grant Not Expected To Face The Pacers
Jerami Grant (knee) is doubtful heading into Wednesday's game against the Pacers. The 30-year-old carried a questionable tag prior to Monday's matchup with the Grizzlies because of an illness. While he managed to suit up for that one, he eventually exited because of a sprained left knee. The Blazers are in trouble, with Donovan Clingan (knee) and Robert Williams III (concussion) already ruled out. To make matters worse, Scoot Henderson (back), Kris Murray (sternum), and Deandre Ayton (finger) are questionable. As a result, Deni Avdija could return to the starting lineup and automatically see his fantasy potential increase. Also, Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe could be in line for an uptick in production.

Jerami Grant Likely To Miss Another Game Tuesday
Jerami Grant (knee) remains on the injury report with a doubtful tag on Thursday, making it unlikely that he will return to action against the Atlanta Hawks. Grant has not played since March 9, missing 10 games due to inflammation in his right knee. Deni Avdija's workload has noticeably increased during Grant's absence, as he has averaged 36.8 minutes since his exit from the lineup. Avdija has also been highly productive, averaging 25.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.2 steals over the past 10 games.

Jerami Grant Out Again On Sunday
Jerami Grant (knee) won't play on Sunday versus the Knicks. He's already missed nine-straight contests. But the Trail Blazers aren't expected to make the Play-In, so it's tough to say if Grant will be back on the floor at some point before the end of the season. With Anfernee Simons (forearm) questionable and Scoot Henderson (concussion) out, Toumani Camara, Shaedon Sharpe, and Deni Avdija could be more productive than usual. Dalano Banton may also see a healthy uptick in work, giving him added value for fantasy managers.

Jerami Grant Likely To Miss Ninth Consecutive Game
Jerami Grant (knee) is listed as doubtful on the injury report, making it unlikely that he will return to action on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. He has already missed eight games due to right knee tendinitis. Shaedon Sharpe has nailed down a spot in the starting unit during Grant's absence and will likely receive additional usage again on Thursday night. Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle can also fill Grant's minutes, but they are far less attractive fantasy options compared to Sharpe, who has posted 18.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists in a starting role this season.

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Out On Tuesday
Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Grant will now miss his eighth game in a row due to a lingering knee issue. It's unclear if the Blazers plan to bring back Grant at all this season. His absence has given Shaedon Sharpe a chance to step up and he has been playing excellent basketball lately. Sharpe is worth rostering in most fantasy formats right now while Grant is out.
