Scoot Henderson Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (nose) is considered questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The rookie guard suffered a nose contusion during the second quarter of Friday's game. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Henderson in the long term. His absence would mean increased playing time […]

Anfernee Simons Considered Questionable For Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Simons sat out of Friday's game due to an illness, and it appears he's not over it yet. Matisse Thybulle started in his place on Friday and that will likely be the case once again, […]

Deandre Ayton Expected To Return Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is listed as probable for Friday and is set to make his return from his 12-game absence. Before the injury, the former number-one overall pick was averaging over 13 points and almost 11 rebounds in 31 minutes in his first season in Portland. In his absence, Duop Reath […]

Deandre Ayton Listed As Probable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is considered probable ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The big man appears to be ready to make his first appearance since December 23. Ayton was expected to play on Wednesday, but the icy roads stopped him from getting to the game. The assumption is he'll […]

Matisse Thybulle Removed From Injury Report

Portland Trail Blazers forward Matisse Thybulle (ankle) does not appear on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This is good news after Thybulle was forced to exit during the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game. The team was calling the issue a left ankle sprain, but it doesn't appear to be […]

Matisse Thybulle Suffers Ankle Injury

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle sprained his left ankle against Brooklyn on Wednesday and had to exit the game in the fourth quarter. The defensive specialist ended the night with three points and three assists in 21 minutes off the bench. Portland has struggled with injuries all season long, and Thybulle is the latest […]

Ibou Badji Available On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Ibou Badji (hip) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The big man was questionable coming into this game due to a right hip contusion. However, it appears the issue was minor and Badji will be able to play his normal role. Although, his role in the rotation […]

Malcolm Brogdon Will Suit Up On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard was uncertain coming into this game due to groin soreness. His presence is a welcoming sight for the Blazers as Brogdon has played a significant role lately with the team shorthanded. He's expected to come […]

Anfernee Simons Will Play Versus Nets

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This is good news after Simons was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. Luckily, it was a minor issue and Simons should resume his normal role in the rotation. Simons has played a […]

Deandre Ayton Expected To Play On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is currently listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Ayton was able to practice on Tuesday without any issues. That being said, Ayton appears to be in line to make his first appearance since December 23. His return will impact the playing time of Ibou […]

Jerami Grant Removed From Injury Report

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Both Grant and Matisse Thybulle (illness) sat out of Sunday's contest. Now, both players have been removed from the injury report and appear ready to go. The return of Grant should shift Jabari […]

Shaedon Sharpe To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (abdominal) is set to miss at least two weeks of action. Sharpe has missed each of the last two games before the Blazers decided to shut him down for the next two weeks. After that, Sharpe will be re-evaluated, but could continue to miss time after being looked at […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds and Weekly Planner: Week 13 (1/15 -1/21)

We kick off a huge week in the Association with the annual MLK slate - 11 games on a Monday! The NBA has long embraced MLK Day and has used it both to do community outreach and to promote its product. While I love the big Monday slate, it does create some inequity in the […]

Deandre Ayton Upgraded To Questionable

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) has been upgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The big man has missed the last 10 games due to right knee tendinitis. The fact Ayton was upgraded to questionable instead of having a doubtful tag is a good sign. It's worth noting that […]

Shaedon Sharpe Will Not Suit Up On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (groin) has been ruled out with groin soreness on Friday. After a dreadful 62-point loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, it looks like Sharpe will get the night off. He's had some rough shooting nights lately, which coincided with two losses by a total of 90 points. His last […]

Deandre Ayton Doubtful Again On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is considered doubtful again on Friday as he continues to deal with right knee tendinitis. Ayton hasn't played since December 23 and there hasn't been any word on when he'll be able to return yet. He continues to draw doubtful tags and then gets downgraded to out as […]

Jabari Walker Questionable For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (knee) could be out for another game on Thursday against the Thunder. The team has listed him as questionable for the contest due to left knee tendinitis. The issue has kept Walker out from three games already. Walker's absence has given an opportunity for Toumani Camara, Ibou Badji, and […]

Trail Blazers vs. Thunder NBA DFS Showdown Slate Picks, Value Plays - Thursday, January 11

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! Welcome back to our weekly showdown. Last week would have been an absolute banger had Michael Porter Jr. shown up to the game. Jonathan Kuminga also not playing in the fourth quarter didn't help either and I think he agreed after his post-game comments. However, if you caught my lineup in the […]

Deandre Ayton Tagged As Doubtful For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is listed as doubtful ahead of Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The big man continues to miss time, but is traveling with the team. However, the Blazers haven't given a timetable on Ayton's return. Given the current record of the team, it doesn't sound like the […]

NBA DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks - Today's Top Lineups (1/10/24)

We have a smaller main slate than usual on DK and FD for a Wednesday, but there are still a solid eight games on the slate.

That offers up some great value options, creating […]

Jabari Walker Could Be Out For Third Straight Game

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (knee) is in danger of missing a third consecutive game, as the team has him listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks.

Matisse Thybulle Questionable Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (foot) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with the Knicks. He suffered a right foot sprain on Friday versus Dallas and wasn't able to play Sunday against Brooklyn.
