Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Dan Titus explains why the Portland Trail Blazers forward is a great add and discusses keys for streaming this week.
The Blazers welcome back Avdija and Ayton but will play Sunday without Anfernee Simons. His absence means Henderson will return to the starting lineup, this time as the lone point guard. Avdija has replaced Shaedon Sharpe in the lineup, with Blazers coach Chauncey Billups noting the latter's defensive struggles as the reason for the change.
Ayton's absence means the Trail Blazers are down two rotation centers, as Donovan Clingan (ankle) was already out. Robert Williams will start and should be streamed wherever he's available. Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant, and Toumani Camara will join the Time Lord in the starting lineup.
Avdija did not play in Tuesday's loss to the Nets and appears likely to miss a second consecutive game on Thursday. Scoot Henderson had the best game of his young NBA career on Tuesday as Avdija's replacement in the starting lineup, and he should retain that role. Toumani Camara also has increased fantasy value due to injuries to Avdija and Jerami Grant.
Camara has been solid all season, but he has been more productive on offense recently. He scored in double figures in six straight games prior to their previous game, where that streak came to an end. He bounced back in this one and set a new career-high for points in the loss. Camara has been known for his defense more than his scoring, and he was still able to make an impact on that end in this game. They still have three more games this week, and Camara will look to keep up his productive play, with the Clippers coming up next on the schedule on Thursday.
