Jerami Grant Available Thursday Against 76ers
3 years agoDetroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (elbow), dealing with an infection in his left elbow, will suit up for Thursday's game against Philadelphia. Grant missed Thursday's practice and was considered a game-time call- but appears to be healthy enough to suit up after being sidelined for just one contest. The 27-year-old has been excellent on the defensive end this season, averaging 2.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, though his inefficient shooting has limited his upside somewhat early on in this year. He's still worth starting for the defensive stats alone. Kelly Olynyk loses some DFS appeal, as he'll head back to a bench role.

Jerami Grant Tagged As Questionable On Tuesday
2 days agoPortland Trail Blazers small forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Grant is in danger of missing his eighth consecutive game due to right knee tendinitis. If he doesn't suit up against the Cleveland Cavaliers, his next chance to play will be on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. This season, Grant has been averaging 14.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.1 assists, shooting an inefficient 37.3 % from the field. Shaedon Sharpe is most likely going to start for Portland if Grant remains sidelined.

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Out On Friday
5 days agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. In an unsurprising development, Grant has been ruled out for this game after being listed as doubtful coming into it. This marks his fifth absence in a row and it's unclear how much the Blazers plan to use Grant down the stretch of the season. Toumani Camara and Kris Murray should see increased roles once again on Friday. However, Shaedon Sharpe has been benefitting the most from Grant's absence and should continue being a solid fantasy option.

Jerami Grant Doubtful For Friday Versus Nuggets
6 days agoPortland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (knee) is doubtful for Friday against the Denver Nuggets. Grant could sit out a sixth consecutive game due to an issue with his right knee. Deni Avdija's fantasy production has dramatically increased in Grant's absence. Avdija exploded for 31 points, 16 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks in 39 minutes of work during Wednesday's 115-99 win over the Grizzlies. Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle could also help to fill the void left by Grant if he's out, but they lack fantasy value.
