MATISSE THYBULLE NEWS

Granted night off Thybulle won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Suns due to rest purposes, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Thybulle is set for a night off as Portland hopes to get a look at the squad's young talent in the preseason finale. He put together a rough shooting performance in Saturday's exhibition against the Jazz, going 1-for-5 from the field and missing all four attempts from beyond the arc.

Out again Thursday Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact As expected, Thybulle has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third straight game due to inflammation in his right knee. With Cam Reddish (back) and Shaedon Sharpe (knee) also out, Kevin Knox, Shaquille Harrison, Jeenathan Williams and Justin Minaya are all candidates for increased roles.

Another rough night Thybulle chipped in five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), one assist and one steal across 14 minutes during Friday's 124-96 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Thybulle's hot start to his Portland career is nothing but a distant memory now, as he has failed to score more than six points in each of his past three games. During that time he has recorded a total of just three steals and one block, making him a non-factor in the majority of fantasy leagues. While he can still be viewed as a possible streaming candidate, there are likely safer options available given the number of teams throwing in the towel.

Solid two-way performance Thybulle ended with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Thybulle put together a strong performance despite the loss, matching his season high with 15 points. While his defensive production has been stable since arriving in Portland, Thybulle's offensive contributions have fluctuated, not unlike his career to this point. He has been able to add a somewhat reliable three-point shot to his repertoire, but should still be viewed as a defensive streamer in competitive leagues.

Stays quiet vs. Philly Thybulle produced five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Thybulle has been held to single figures in the scoring column over his last five contests, but he continues to contribute on the defensive end. He's tallied a steal in 14 straight games and recorded a block Friday night, marking his sixth of March through six appearances. Thybulle's production in the scoring column won't raise any eyebrows, but his defensive stats make him worth considering in deeper leagues.

Posts season-high four blocks Thybulle racked up 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Thybulle put forth a great defensive effort Wednesday, tying Damian Lillard for the team lead in rebounds with eight while also posting a game and season-high four blocks, all of which came in the first half. The shooting added 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor to go along with a season-high four assists as the Trail Blazers lost their second straight. Thybulle has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games, going 7-of-10 from three over that brief stretch.

Continues strong play Thybulle posted 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Thybulle was lights out from deep en route to his highest-scoring outing since joining the Trail Blazers. The defensive-minded forward has started all five contests with his new squad and is averaging 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from deep. Thybulle's three-point shot has been a revelation in Portland, but fantasy managers should brace for regression at some point. Either way, the fourth-year pro's sizable role and defensive production make him a quality streaming option in category leagues.

MARCH 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Continues strong defensive play Thybulle registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 131-114 win over Houston.

Impact Thybulle has started all four games since being traded to Portland and is averaging 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game. During that stretch, he's shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from deep. This is all very positive for the fourth-year forward, who saw his role dramatically dip in Philadelphia before being traded, but what puts Thybulle on fantasy radars is his strong production in the defensive categories. OG Anunoby currently leads the league with 2.0 steals per game, so if Thybulle can continue at his current pace, he may be one of the best streaming options for steals in category leagues during the fantasy playoffs.

Supplies four steals Tuesday Thybulle provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four steals, one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes in Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards.

Impact Predictably, Thybulle's output on the offensive end took a step back in the second leg of the back-to-back set after he erupted for 14 points on 4-for-6 shooting from three-point range in his Trail Blazers debut Monday against the Lakers. Fantasy managers should take whatever they get from Thybulle in the scoring column as a bonus moving forward, but as long as he can hold down a 25-plus-minute role, he'll have some appeal as a specialist in the two defensive categories. On a per-36-minute basis, Thybulle has averaged 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks for his career.

Flashes offense in team debut Thybulle ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 127-115 win over the Lakers.

Impact Thybulle played his first game for Portland since the team acquired him in a trade last week, and he got a starting assignment with Jerami Grant out with a concussion. While Thybulle's bread and butter is undoubtedly his defense, the former 76er unexpectedly showed off his shooting touch, drilling a campaign-high four three-pointers and finishing with double-digit points for just the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro didn't let down on defense either, swatting three shots and notching one theft. Thybulle isn't likely to put up these type of offensive numbers on a frequent basis, as he's yet to average more than 5.7 points per game in any professional campaign.
