Reath amassed no counting stats in three minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Reath's poor season continued Wednesday, failing to score in just three minutes. Even with Robert Williams sidelined as part of his injury management, Reath was unable to carve out a meaningful role. He can be safely left on the waiver wire in all formats.
Murray produced nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Murray logged a season-high 35 minutes, continuing to play a sizeable role for the injured Trail Blazers. After starting the previous game, he shifted to the bench but was able to contribute across all the major categories. Despite the opportunity, Murray simply doesn't have enough upside to warrant fantasy attention outside of deeper formats.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Logs 22 minutes in start
Rotowire
Cissoko supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Cissoko moved into the starting lineup as Portland continues to search for answers at the guard position. With that said, it has been Deni Avdija who has shouldered the bulk of the responsibility, not the replacement guards. There is no reason to consider Cissoko a pickup in standard formats at this point.
Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Massive double-double in loss
Rotowire
Clingan contributed 17 points (7-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 21 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Clingan logged a season-high 34 minutes en route to a season-best 17 points. The second-year center also grabbed a game- and career-high 21 rebounds, securing his third double-double in 15 regular-season appearances. The big man recorded two blocks and has swatted multiple shots in four of his last five outings. While Clingan isn't guaranteed to score double-digit points on a nightly basis, he continues to provide value on the defensive end and on the glass.
Avdija generated 32 points (11-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 7-12 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes of Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Avdija logged the third triple-double of his career, each of which has included at least 30 points. The sixth-year forward has eclipsed the 30-point milestone four times this season after reaching that threshold merely eight times in 72 regular-season games during the 2024-25 campaign. Avdija is averaging 25.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists in 15 games played this season.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Paces Portland in loss
Rotowire
Grant ended Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls with 33 points (10-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes.
Grant returned to game action after missing Tuesday's loss to Phoenix due to illness, posting a game-high mark in points. His nine rebounds were also a season high. The veteran forward drew his second consecutive start Wednesday, and he'll likely remain in the starting five if Jrue Holiday (calf) misses additional time.

Rotowire
Cissoko is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Trail Blazers' Kris Murray: Coming off bench vs. Bulls
Rotowire
Murray isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Chicago.
Murray drew his first start of the season Tuesday against the Suns, totaling three points and four boards in 25 minutes. He'll return to the bench Wednesday as the Blazers elect to roll out Deni Avdija, Jerami Grant and Donovan Clingan in the starting frontcourt.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Grant is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with the Bulls.
With Jrue Holiday (calf) and Shaedon Sharpe (calf) both sidelined Wednesday night, the offense will likely be running through Grant and Deni Avdija. Grant makes sense as a potential target in daily fantasy leagues with the usage bump coming his way.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Good to go against Chicago
Rotowire
Grant (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Grant was considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's game due to an illness, but the veteran forward has been cleared to return from a one-game absence. He has averaged 16.3 points, 3.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds over 27.6 minutes per game across seven appearances in November.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Trending in right direction
Rotowire
Grant (illness) is participating in pregame warmups with the intention of playing Wednesday against the Bulls, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Grant is officially listed as questionable, but assuming he's able to make it through warmups without issue, it looks as though he'll be available Wednesday night. Official word on his status should come closer to tipoff.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Won't play Wednesday
Rotowire
Sharpe (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Sharpe will miss the second leg of the Trail Blazers' back-to-back set Wednesday due to a right calf injury. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but his next opportunity to play is in Friday's road game against the Warriors. Caleb Love, Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko are all candidates for increased roles against Chicago due to Sharpe's absence.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Will rest Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (rest) will not play Wednesday against the Bulls.
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, so Williams will get a maintenance day due to his lengthy injury history. With Williams out, the Trail Blazers could turn to rookie Yang Hansen for a handful of minutes off the bench. Duop Reath is also an option in the frontcourt.

Trail Blazers' Jerami Grant: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Grant (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
The Trail Blazers submitted a hefty injury report for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Jrue Holiday (calf) remains out, Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is doubtful and Robert Williams will be held out for rest. If the Trail Blazers hold Grant out, the team could turn to guys like Kris Murray, Rayan Rupert and Duop Reath.

Trail Blazers' Jrue Holiday: Still out Wednesday
Rotowire
Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Holiday will miss a third straight game due to right calf soreness. His next chance to suit up will come Friday in Golden State. Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is doubtful, so Caleb Love, Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko are candidates for elevated roles again.

Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Doubtful for Wednesday
Rotowire
Sharpe is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls due to right calf soreness.
Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and it appears the Trail Blazers will be cautious with the shooting guard. During Tuesday's game against the Suns, Sharpe produced 29 points (12-24 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one steal across 30 minutes. With Sharpe expected to sit, guys like Caleb Love, Kris Murray and Sidy Cissoko could be more involved for Portland.
Cissoko posted eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Suns.
Cissoko was likely in for a longer period of time due to the blowout nature of the game, and he is not expected to see anywhere near 28 minutes consistently in the future unless injury or blowouts occur. In his last eight games, Cissoko is averaging 3.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.5 steals across 14.5 minutes.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Blocks five shots in loss
Rotowire
Clingan registered nine points (3-8 FG, 3-3 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and five blocks in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Suns.
Tuesday was not a great night offensively for everyone on the Blazers except Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija, but Clingan made sure to make his presence felt on the defensive end. The second-year center has now recorded seven games with multiple blocks and is averaging 8.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals, 1.6 blocks and 0.6 threes through 24.9 minutes this season.

Trail Blazers' Yang Hansen: Scores nine points in return
Rotowire
Hansen notched nine points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Suns.
Hansen rejoined the home club after a stint with the Rip City Remix, a trend that has already happened a few times this season. Hansen has become a crowd favorite, drawing cheers whenever he takes the floor. Donovan Clingan's job is safe, but once Hansen becomes a full-time player, he'll serve as an excellent backup.
