Jerami Grant

Grant will miss an eighth straight game with a knee injury. Shaedon Sharpe will continue to start in his place, and the young guard is worth streaming in some standard category leagues. However, he has been more valuable in points leagues.

Grant (knee) is out for Tuesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Grant has missed Portland's last seven games, and the streak will likely reach eight on Tuesday. His absence has opened up a spot in the starting lineup for Shaedon Sharpe, who is worth rostering in deep and some standard category leagues. Sharpe has been a better option for points leagues than those of the category variety.

Grant is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to right knee tendinitis.

Sharpe has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games for the first time since March 3-5. Jerami Grant's continued absence with a knee injury has opened up a space in the starting lineup and additional scoring opportunities for Sharpe, and he's taken advantage. Over the past month, he has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top 100. While Sharpe may not be an excellent option for category leagues, the opportunity has made him worth the risk, regardless of format.
