JANUARY 15, 2022 • NBA.COM
CJ McCollum - Return expected Monday McCollum (conditioning) is expected to return Monday against the Magic, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact McCollum suffered a collapsed lung Dec. 4 against the Celtics and hasn't played since. However, after being away lately due to the birth of his son and ramping up his conditioning, McCollum will make his return Monday. The Blazers are extremely shorthanded, so his presence will be more than welcome, and he could see much higher usage than usual.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Larry Nance Jr. - Out Saturday Nance (knee) is out Saturday against the Wizards, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Nance is out for a fifth straight game, and the Blazers remain extremely shorthanded overall. His next chance to return is Monday against the Magic.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
CJ McCollum - Out Saturday due to conditioning McCollum (personal) is out Saturday against the Wizards due to return to competition reconditioning, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact McCollum was deemed healthy but sat Thursday due to the birth of his child. However, he won't return Saturday, either, as he's still out of shape from so much time off. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Magic.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Cody Zeller - Out Saturday Zeller (knee) is out Saturday against the Wizards, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Zeller's right knee soreness will force him to miss a second straight game. Plenty of players on the Blazers are seeing extra run, including Nassir Little, Ben McLemore, CJ Elleby and Trendon Watford.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anfernee Simons - Not on injury report Simons (personal) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Simons missed Thursday's game against the Nuggets due to personal reasons, but he should be back in action against Washington. The 22-year-old should continue to handle a starting role since Damian Lillard (abdomen) is slated to miss several weeks.

Durant fined $15,000 for profanity during interview
Kevin Durant has been fined $15,000 for using profane language during an interview after the Brooklyn Nets’ 114-108 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday nightJANUARY 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Keljin Blevins - Appears in first game since Dec. 4 Blevins (COVID-19 protocols) played 15 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 140-108 loss to the Nuggets, totaling six points (2-3 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist.
Impact Blevins cleared the protocols Jan. 2, but he didn't appear in any of the Trail Blazers' subsequent five contests before finally getting the opportunity to take the court Thursday when the game turned into a blowout. Though he's on a two-way deal, Portland doesn't have a G League affiliate, which could make it difficult for Blevins to find consistent run at a lower level of competition. He'll likely remain with Portland for the majority of its games but probably won't play in most competitive contests.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jusuf Nurkic - Fails to step up Nurkic closed with 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Thursday's 140-108 loss to Denver.
Impact Shareholders looking for Nurkic to see an uptick in production sans Damian Lillard (abdomen), CJ McCollum (personal) and Anfernee Simons (personal) were disappointed. Attempting only nine shots is certainly underwhelming, but he at least salvaged the night with a versatile stat line. He's been a fringe top-10 fantasy asset at the center position.

Portland plays Washington on 3-game road skid
Portland comes into a matchup with Washington after losing three straight road gamesJANUARY 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
CJ Elleby - Unimpressive off bench Elleby finished with eight points (2-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 140-108 loss to Denver.
Impact Elleby was a minus-24 in the box score during his time on the floor, unable to convert around the rim throughout Thursday's blowout loss. He did supply a healthy seven assists, but the garbage-time oriented nature of this game adds an asterisk. A second year Washington St. product, Elleby is far removed from the fantasy radar at the moment.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dennis Smith Jr. - Revived in starting role Smith recorded 17 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Thursday's 140-108 loss to Denver.
Impact Smith has been good when seeing more than 30 minutes -- averaging 15.8 points and 6.5 assists while shooting 54.4 percent from the field over four such games on the season. Despite this, his three-point shot is nonexistent, as he's totaled 4-for-24 across his 22 appearances. Although that may symbolize trouble developmentally, Smith has been a serviceable backup point guard and can be regarded as such in fantasy when Portland is shorthanded.
JANUARY 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Ben McLemore - Scores team-high 18 McLemore closed with 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Thursday's 140-108 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact McLemore was one of six Trailblazers with double-digit scoring, and has now combined for 38 points over his previous two games. Fueled by a strong 9-for-17 shooting clip from beyond the arc, McLemore is a verified sniper. Averaging a career-best 41.9 percent from deep, he's attempting a hearty 5.1 threes per game across 23 appearances. With the Trailblazers in shambles, his rest-of-season role is worth monitoring.

Cody Zeller - Out Thursday Zeller (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup with the Nuggets, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Zeller's knee injury has kicked back up and will keep him sidelined Thursday, leaving Portland with just 10 available players. The Trail Blazers' frontcourt is especially depleted with Jusuf Nurkic and Robert Covington as the only true big men available. These two should be expected to have very large roles in this contest.
