Malcolm Brogdon - Will remain out MondayBrogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

ImpactBrogdon hasn't played since Feb. 2 due to right elbow tendinitis. He's increased his workload during recent workouts and continues to trend in the right direction, but he doesn't have a clear return timetable. In Brogdon's absence, Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton should continue to see elevated usage.

Matisse Thybulle - Questionable for MondayThybulle (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

ImpactThybulle may miss a second straight game due to right ankle soreness. While he's not a prolific scorer by any means, Thybulle has made a fantasy impact, especially in category leagues, averaging 2.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game over his last 16 appearances.

Jerami Grant - Doubtful for MondayGrant (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls.

ImpactGrant will likely miss a fourth straight game and the seventh over Portland's last nine games. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Clippers, but the team has yet to provide a return timetable for the veteran forward.

Jabari Walker - Posts 10 points in returnWalker (hip) tallied 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 17 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 126-107 loss to the Pelicans.

ImpactBack in action after missing Portland's previous five games with right hip inflammation, Walker recaptured a role in the rotation and finished a minus-12 during his time on the court. The Trail Blazers were without Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Matisse Thybulle (ankle) on Saturday, so Walker may be more likely to see his playing time decline than increase if both injured players are able to return to action in the near future.

CJ McCollum - Leads team with 30 pointsMcCollum chipped in 30 points (12-20 FG, 6-12 3Pt), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

ImpactMcCollum led the way for the Pelicans, scoring at least 30 points for the first time in over six weeks. New Orleans has now won six of their past seven games, placing them 1.5 games behind the Clippers in the race for the fourth seed. A top-50 player this season, McCollum should be able to maintain solid value for the remainder of the campaign.

Naji Marshall - Solid performance SaturdayMarshall racked up 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

ImpactMarshall was able to chip in across the board, playing a key role off the bench once again. He has been a top-120 player over the past two weeks, despite averaging just 19.8 minutes per night. While he is not a must-roster player, he is doing just enough to be considered a pickup in deeper formats.
