Deni Avdija

Grant will miss a second straight game with the facial contusion, which means another start for Deni Avdija. Already rostered in most standard leagues, Avdija is worthy of streaming consideration in some shallow formats.

Grant sat out Monday with the facial injury, but fortunately, he avoided a concussion. Grant's status for Thursday's tilt with the Lakers is unclear, but if he's sidelined again, Deni Avdija would likely earn another start.

Avdija started in their last game with Toumani Camara sidelined, and he remained in the starting unit with Camara back and Jerami Grant out. He recorded a double-double in this game, though it isn't the kind that fantasy managers want to see. Avdija has been playing well lately after a slow start, and while the rest of his performance was solid, the turnovers were a massive blemish. He'll likely return to a bench role if Grant is back for Thursday's matchup with the Lakers, though he has still been able to produce as a reserve.

Camara will be back after a one-game absence. Avdija started that game in his place, but with Jerami Grant (face) sidelined for this game, Avdija will get another game as part of the starting unit.

Avdija is in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup for Monday night's game against the 76ers, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
