Dalano Banton - Questionable to play Thursday Banton (hip) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact A left hip contusion has forced Banton to miss the Trail Blazers' last three games. Prior to the injury, Banton was averaging 9.5 points, 2.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds over 16.5 minutes per game.

Matisse Thybulle - Won't return Thursday vs. Lakers Thybulle (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Thybulle was working his way back from offseason surgery on his right knee, but he suffered a setback in November when he suffered a Grade 2 right ankle sprain. He's been able to progress to non-contact drills, but it's unclear when the 2019 first-round pick will be able to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut. His next opportunity to do so will be Saturday against the Bucks.

Jerami Grant - Not playing Thursday Grant (face) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Grant will miss a second straight game due to a facial contusion, and his next opportunity to play will be Saturday against the Bucks. Deni Avdija should be in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup Thursday due to Grant's absence.

Jerami Grant - Misses practice Wednesday Grant (head) did not practice Wednesday, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Impact Grant wasn't able to play Monday against Dallas due to a facial contusion, but coach Chauncey Billups said Wednesday that he's not dealing with a concussion. Grant's status for Thursday's game against the Lakers remains in the air. If he can't go, Kris Murray and Deni Avdija could benefit from a fantasy perspective.

Robert Williams III - Returns from three-game absence Williams (ankle) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two blocks and one rebound across 11 minutes Monday in the Trail Blazers' 125-103 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Though the Trail Blazers continued to deploy Donovan Clingan (nine minutes) as the primary backup to starting center Deandre Ayton, Williams saw slightly more playing time than the rookie due to head coach Chauncey Billups' willingness to use Williams alongside Ayton at power forward. Given the lack of a threat he presents as a perimeter shooter, Williams may find it difficult to earn significantly more minutes at power forward from here on out, especially once Jerami Grant (face) returns to the mix. Though he's healthy again after missing the previous three games with a right ankle sprain, Williams' fantasy appeal will be limited mainly to deeper leagues unless Ayton were to miss time.

Deandre Ayton - Efficient in loss Monday Ayton ended with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Monday's 125-103 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Ayton had a tough matchup on both ends of the court since he had to deal with Joel Embiid, but at least he posted a solid stat line while showing an efficient touch near the rim. Ayton couldn't extend his double-double streak to three games, but the veteran continues to be a reliable option down low for the Blazers. Since returning from a two-game absence due to an illness on Dec. 19, Ayton is averaging 16.0 points and 10.7 rebounds per game over his last six appearances.

Deni Avdija - Continues to produce Avdija accumulated 17 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 125-103 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Avdija had a solid showing Monday and surpassed the 15-point mark for the fourth consecutive game, matching a new season-high mark in that category. Even though Avdija's role has fluctuated between the starting lineup and the bench, he remains a productive player in most fantasy formats due to his ability to rack up stats left and right with ease. Avdija is averaging 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists across his last 10 games despite starting just twice over that span.

Anfernee Simons - Scores 25 points Monday Simons ended Monday's 125-103 loss to the 76ers with 25 points (9-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and four assists in 30 minutes.
Impact The Blazers looked completely overmatched in this loss Monday, but Simons delivered a solid fantasy output despite the team's struggles. This was the fifth time he reached the 20-point mark over his last eight games, and while Portland has gone 3-5 over that stretch, Simons has managed to average 20.1 points, 6.0 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game. Simons has been one of the few silver linings for the Blazers from a fantasy perspective this season.

Toumani Camara - Gets green light vs. 76ers Camara (foot) will play Monday against Philadelphia, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Impact Camara was considered questionable due to a left foot sprain heading into Monday's clash, and it's since been announced that he'll return to the starting lineup following a one-game absence. He's averaging 7.8 points, 8.4 rebonds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five appearances.

Jerami Grant - Ruled out Monday Grant (face) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the 76ers, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Impact Grant likely sustained the facial contusion during Saturday's win over Dallas, and his next chance to feature will come Thursday against the Lakers. With the 30-year-old sidelined, Deni Avdija will get the starting nod, and Kris Murray should see a slight bump in playing time off the bench.
