Duop Reath

Despite success late last season, Reath wasn't able to carve out a spot in the rotation for most of this year with Portland. However, he has taken on a larger role in the month of March, which allowed him to set a new season-high with 17 points on Thursday. He scored in double figures in three straight games last week but scored a total of eight points across their last two games entering Thursday. He played 28 minutes to Donovan Clingan's 18, which isn't a trend that will stick with any consistency, making it difficult to justify rostering Reath despite him playing well on Thursday.

Walker has been out since suffering a concussion during a March 12 loss to the Knicks. His absence has freed up rotation minutes for Duop Reath, who has not done enough to merit being rostered. However, with Donovan Clingan (illness) also questionable for Sunday's game, Reath may have added value on Sunday.

Anfernee Simons and Donovan Clingan were both late scratches due to illnesses. They will be replaced in the starting unit by Scoot and Murray, with Camara sliding over to start at center. Duop Reath should still play a large reserve role despite not starting.

This will be a fourth-straight absence for Walker since he took an elbow to the jaw courtesy of Karl-Anthony Towns last week. Duop Reath will continue to fill out the backup center minutes behind Donovan Clingan, where he has scored in double figures in two straight games.

Williams and Walker remain out for another game. Their absences will ensure Duop Reath's rotation minutes as the backup center. There isn't much to gain from streaming Reath, with Donovan Clingan surpassing 30 minutes as the starting center.
