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.

Rotowire
Eubanks totaled 10 points (5-8 FG), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 117-102 loss to the Clippers.

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.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Dissapoints in starting role
Rotowire
Eubanks ended with five points (1-4 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 18 minutes during Friday's 124-116 win over the Wizards.
On the heels of just his second double-double of the season, Eubanks came into Friday's matchup in position to solidify a short-term starting role while Jusuf Nurkic (calf) heals up from injury. Eubanks made his seventh start of the season but was outshined by second-year pro Trendon Watford. Eubanks hasn't had much fantasy value to this point this season, and even in Nurkic's absence, he isn't worth rostering in standard fantasy leagues.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Gets starting nod
Rotowire
Eubanks will start in Friday's game versus the Wizards, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Eubanks will start in place of Jusuf Nurkic (calf), who is expected to be out through the All-Star break. The 25-year-old big man is averaging 7.7 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks in 28.0 minutes across his previous six starts this season.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Starting for injured Nurkic
Rotowire
Eubanks will start Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Eubanks gets the nod at center with Jusuf Nurkic (calf) sidelined. In Eubanks' prior five starts this season, he's averaged 7.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 29.2 minutes.
Eubanks notched eight points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two blocks and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 134-124 victory over Utah.
Eubanks had a strong all-around performance in a game where starter Jusuf Nurkic (calf) exited in the third quarter to injury. Wednesday was just the third time Eubanks played over 25 minutes since the calendar flipped to 2023. He has gone for at least 10 rebounds and two blocks in each instance. If Nurkic misses an extended period of time, Eubanks would have some streaming appeal in fantasy.

Trail Blazers' Drew Eubanks: Swats six shots Sunday
Rotowire
Eubanks posted six points (3-4 FG), 11 rebounds, six blocks and one assist in 31 minutes during Sunday's 121-112 loss to the Lakers.
Jusuf Nurkic remains entrenched as Portland's starting center, but after picking up three fouls in the game's first 16 minutes, he ended up ceding more playing time than usual to Eubanks. The elevated run allowed Eubanks to rack up some gaudy rebound and block totals, but the performance isn't something that can be relied upon moving forward. Prior to Sunday, Eubanks averaged 4.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 18.5 minutes over his last six outings, and that level of production and playing time is more representative of what to expect from him.

Rotowire

He scored in double figures for the first time since Dec. 10, and he hauled down a season-high 10 rebounds. Eubanks also showcased his ability on the defensive end by swatting away three shots and recording four steals. The Oregon State product has now registered a block in seven straight contests.
