Jerami Grant Continues Three-Point Development
Jerami Grant knocked down four triples during Tuesday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers, giving him four consecutive contests with multiple threes made. He finished with 22 points overall Tuesday, chipping in five rebounds, continuing to develop into a well-rounded offensive threat for the Thunder just prior to the start of the postseason. Grant got up 4.5 three-point attempts per game during the month of March, which could give him additional upside in DFS for the remaining four regular-season games and into the playoffs as a potential stack alongside Russell Westbrook.

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.
