  • Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Extends range behind the arc

    Clingan finished with 19 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-13 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime win over the Kings.

    Clingan was impressive overall against Sacramento. The Connecticut product is known for hitting the glass and protecting the rim, which he did Thursday to the tune of eight boards and two blocks. He also sank a pair of three-pointers, which is huge for Portland's offense. If Clingan can draw rim protectors to the arc, it will open more space for his teammates to drive.

  • Toumani Camara SF | POR

    Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Scores 17 before fouling out

    Camara ended with 17 points (6-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 35 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 134-133 overtime win over the Kings.

    Portland survived a furious Sacramento comeback without Camara on the floor. He fouled out while his team was up 16 points with less than four minutes to play. His defensive presence was missed as the Kings' offense started rolling almost immediately. As for his time on the court, he was effective scoring the ball en route to 17 points. All five Portland starters finished with double-digits in the scoring column.

  • Shaedon Sharpe SG | POR

    Trail Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe: Continues scoring uptick

    Sharpe supplied 26 points (11-22 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime victory over Sacramento.

    Sharpe is living up to his billing as a high-volume scorer. The overtime win against Sacramento marked Sharpe's third straight game with at least 20 points. Over his past four games, Sharpe has knocked down 16 three-pointers on 72.7 percent shooting from beyond the arc. As Jrue Holiday continues to miss time with a calf injury, Sharpe will have the opportunity to keep building on a breakout year.

  • Cavaliers' Craig Porter: Late addition to injury report

    Porter is questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls due to an illness.

    It's possible an ailment is spreading around the Cavaliers, as Donovan Mitchell (illness) is also under the weather. Depending upon who ends up being available Friday in the backcourt, Lonzo Ball could be in the streaming mix in shallow leagues and Tyrese Proctor in deeper setups.

  • Thunder's Jaylin Williams: Out again Friday

    Williams (heel) will not play Friday against the Timberwolves.

    Williams will miss his second game in a row Friday, with his next chance to play coming Monday against Memphis. In Williams' absence, Branden Carlson and Kenrich Williams are candidates to absorb a handful of minutes Friday.

  • Aaron Wiggins SG | OKC

    Thunder's Aaron Wiggins: Questionable against Minnesota

    Wiggins is questionable for Friday's game against Minnesota due to right adductor soreness.

    Friday is the second part of a back-to-back set for the Thunder, so it wouldn't be shocking if Wiggins received a maintenance day. Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso would likely soak up the remaining minutes in the case of Wiggins being unavailable.

  • Thunder's Isaiah Hartenstein: Back in action Friday

    Hartenstein (calf, rest) will be available for Friday's game against Minnesota.

    As expected, Hartenstein is no longer on the injury report after getting the night off for maintenance Thursday against the Clippers. The big man is averaging a double-double this season with 12.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

  • Kings' Maxime Raynaud: Notches best game of career

    Raynaud chipped in 29 points (10-20 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime loss to Portland.

    The rookie has a new career high in scoring following the overtime loss to Portland. Raynaud's 11 rebounds also tied his best performance on the glass this year. The Stanford product is seeing increased run while Domantas Sabonis works his way back from a meniscus tear. In December, Raynaud is averaging 17.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game. While Sabonis could return to the court soon, Raynaud is making the case to continue receiving ample playing time.

  • Pelle Larsson SG | MIA

    Heat's Pelle Larsson: Remains listed as out

    Larsson is out for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained left ankle.

    The Heat announced Dec. 10 that Larsson could miss up to two weeks with the injury, so it seems fair to label him as week-to-week. Until Miami updates Larsson's timetable for a return, Simone Fontecchio has one less obstacle to overcome for playing time in the frontcourt.

  • Knicks' Miles McBride: Another absence coming

    McBride is out for Friday's game against the 76ers with a sprained left ankle.

    McBride is set to be sidelined for a fourth consecutive game Friday. Sunday's matchup with the Heat marks his next chance to suit up. McBride's vacated minutes should be divvied up among Jordan Clarkson and Tyler Kolek.
