Portland Trail Blazers

Kris Murray

F

Murray is in danger of missing a third straight game due to an illness. If he's ultimately ruled out, Sidy Cissoko, Scoot Henderson and Matisse Thybulle would be candidates to see an uptick in minutes.

Deni Avdija

F

After missing the past seven games for Portland, Avdija is trending in the right direction and is officially day-to-day. If he does get the green light to return from his lingering back injury, it's possible he faces restrictions in his first game back.

Shaedon Sharpe

G

Sharpe has already been out since early February with a strained left calf, and now it sounds like his absence could extend until April due to a stress reaction in his fibula. With Sharpe likely to miss at least another month, Scoot Henderson could soon push for minutes in the 30s on a consistent basis. Vit Krejci also belongs on the radar in deeper fantasy leagues.

Damian Lillard

G

After losing to Tyler Herro (ribs) in 2025, Lillard won his third 3-Point Contest in four years. The star point guard posted 27 points in the first round and 29 in the second, beating Booker by two and Knueppel by 12 in the final round. Lillard is still recovering from a torn left Achilles tendon he sustained with the Bucks in the opening round of the playoffs last season, and he'll hope to return to action for Portland by the start of the 2026-27 campaign.
