Jerami Grant (knee) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out. This will be Grant's second consecutive absence due to a right knee tendinitis. When Grant exited the lineup on Monday against the Golden State Warriors,
Deni Avdija filled his spot in the starting lineup and took on a huge workload, logging 41 minutes.
Jabari Walker will help fill Grant's minutes off the bench, while the addition of
Matisse Thybulle (ankle) to the rotation will also compensate for Grant's loss.

Jerami Grant (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Grant will head to the sideline due to a knee issue after returning to the court on Friday after missing the previous four games. Well, the Blazers got two games out of Grant before got injured again. Luckily,
Deni Avdija (quad) has been cleared to play, so he figures to absorb more playing time. Both Avdija and
Jabari Walker figure to be decent streaming options for Monday's slate. Avdija is the better streaming option between the two, but both players are worth a look.

Jerami Grant (knee) will return from a four-game absence on Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has shaken off a knee problem and makes his comeback at a good time, as Portland has lost
Deni Avdija (quadriceps) for Friday's contest. Grant has been a disappointment for fantasy managers in 2024-25. Following four straight campaigns of averaging 19-plus points per game, Grant's output has dropped to 14.4 points on 37.3 percent shooting. However, he may be more productive than usual on Friday, as Portland faces a short-handed Thunder team.
