Rotowire

Trail Blazers' Keljin Blevins: Flops in starting role
Rotowire
Blevins finished with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes Saturday in the Trail Blazers' 135-121 loss to the Timberwolves.
The assist total was nice enough, but Blevins otherwise did little to impress in his first career NBA start. Blevins was appointed to the top unit solely because Portland had just eight players available for the contest, so expect him to move to the bench and see a steep drop in playing time if any of Eric Bledsoe (Achilles), Justise Winslow (Achilles), Elijah Hughes (thumb) or Greg Brown (illness) are available for Monday's rematch with Minnesota.

Trail Blazers' Keljin Blevins: Getting first career start
Rotowire
Blevins will make his first career start Saturday against the Timberwolves, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Blevins has seen sparse run all season, but the Trail Blazers are extremely shorthanded, so he'll see an increased role. When seeing double-digit minutes this season, he's averaged 4.8 points and 2.0 rebounds in 11.8 minutes.

Trail Blazers' Keljin Blevins: Appears in first game since Dec. 4
Rotowire
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.
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.

He's one of five Portland players to enter the league protocol since Christmas Eve, joining Dennis Smith, Trendon Watford, Ben McLemore and Robert Covington.

Blevins appears to be near the bottom of the team's depth chart heading into the regular season and figures to spend time in the G League, but he'll get an opportunity to start Monday with Portland electing to rest a good chunk of their starters.
