Eubanks (ankle) is out for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.
Eubanks missed Saturday's game against the Clippers, and with the Blazers having nothing to play for in the regular-season finale, his absence is not surprising. Trendon Watford should start at center as a result.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Status uncertain Saturday
Rotowire
Eubanks is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain.
With Portland eliminated from playoff contention, it wouldn't be surprising for Eubanks to sit out either leg of the team's back-to-back Saturday and Sunday. If he is ruled out, Trendon Watford (ankle) would be the primary candidate to start at center, with Jusuf Nurkic (knee) unavailable.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Stellar performance not enough
Rotowire
Eubanks amassed 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and five blocks over 28 minutes during Thursday's 129-127 loss to the Spurs.
Eubanks was efficient from the field en route to a season-high 23 points and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, falling one short of his fourth double-double of the campaign. He also blocked three-plus shots for a third straight game and at least five shots for the third time this season. With Portland shutting down numerous regulars, Eubanks has drawn seven straight starts, averaging 12.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, 2.4 assists and 1.0 steals with 50/36/68 shooting splits during that stretch.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Available Thursday
Rotowire
Eubanks (chest) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Eubanks has started the last seven games, and he'll be available once again Thursday. Across his last seven outings, he's averaged 10.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 27.7 minutes per game, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain in the starting lineup since Jusuf Nurkic (knee) is out once again.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Double-doubles in loss
Rotowire
Eubanks logged 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 138-114 loss to Sacramento.
Eubanks scored a season-high 18 points and grabbed at least 10 rebounds for a third time over his past four appearances en route to his third double-double of the campaign. Across his past five appearances, he's averaged 10.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.8 minutes. As long as Jusuf Nurkic (knee) remains out, Eubanks should have ample opportunities to produce strong numbers over Portland's final five regular-season games.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Produces as shot blocker, rebounder
Rotowire
Eubanks finished with five points (2-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 25 minutes in Wednesday's 120-80 loss to the Kings.
There wasn't much positive to take away from a night the Trail Blazers mustered just 80 points and lost by 40, but Eubanks at least came through for fantasy managers who streamed him for blocks and rebounds. He's typically been a strong source of field-goal percentage on the occasions he's started this season, but Eubanks deviated from that trend in a major way Wednesday. Though the 2-for-12 showing from the field was tough to stomach, fantasy managers should view it as a major outlier and continue to roll with Eubanks in lineups with the likelihood that top center Jusuf Nurkic (knee) has been shut down for the season.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Swats away six shots
Rotowire
Eubanks produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-112 loss to Oklahoma City.
Eubanks didn't turn any heads with his performance in the scoring column, but he managed to tie his season high with six blocks. He also made an impact by snagging double-digit rebounds, his first time doing so since Feb. 14. Eubanks could be a viable streaming option for fantasy managers in need of rebounds and defensive stats, especially with Jusuf Nurkic (knee) and Trendon Watford (ankle) struggling to return to health.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Solid in spot start
Rotowire
Eubanks finished Friday's 124-96 loss to the Bulls with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 25 minutes.
Eubanks moved back into the starting lineup, filling in for Jusuf Nurkic (right knee soreness), who was a late scratch. It appears as though the Trail Blazers have given up the goat this season, meaning Eubanks could be a sneaky pickup down the stretch. While there is no confirmation of this, all signs are pointing to them leaning heavily on their fringe players ROS.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Solid production in win
Rotowire
Eubanks finished with nine points (2-2 FG, 5-10 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 victory over Houston.
Eubanks drew a ninth straight start in place of Jusuf Nurkic (calf). While he's scored in double figures only twice during that stretch, the undrafted big man out of Oregon State is still putting up solid numbers and is averaging 7.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 56.3 percent from the field. He's certainly not producing at an All-Star level, but his rebounding, defensive production and above-average field-goal percentage makes him a solid streaming option while Nurkic remains sidelined.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Swats four shots Tuesday
Rotowire
Eubanks finished Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards with three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four blocks, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
As has been the case throughout his seven-game run as the Trail Blazers' starting center, Eubanks remained uninvolved on the offensive end, but he came through with a strong showing in two categories. For as long as Jusuf Nurkic (calf) remains sidelined, Eubanks should represent an excellent streaming option for rebounds and blocks, though his lack of contributions in other areas renders him more of a low-end option in 12-team category leagues.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Limited in loss Saturday
Rotowire
Eubanks registered eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 129-121 loss to Chicago.
Eubanks went to the locker room with a back injury Saturday, and while he was able to return, there were some clear limitations. Trendon Watford played down the stretch, indicating Eubanks may have been a non-option at that point. He remains a 12-team option as long as Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is out, although managers will want to keep an eye on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Bucks.
