Jabari Walker

Reath was initially listed as questionable to return but has now officially been ruled out. He only played six minutes before his exit, and while Jabari Walker is the logical next man up down low, Chauncey Billups has opted to utilize smaller lineups with Matisse Thybulle taking on more minutes.

Reath has been playing the reserve center minutes behind Donovan Clingan, but he may not be able to return to Thursday's game. If that happens, Jabari Walker will fill out extra minutes in his place.

Clingan and Walker were questionable for Sunday's game. The former has been a fixture in the Trail Blazers starting lineup, and that will not change against the reigning champs. As for Walker, this will be his first opportunity to play since March 12 due to the league's concussion protocol. While there will be rotation minutes available to Walker, he's unlikely to impact fantasy basketball significantly.

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.

Clingan is out after popping up on the injury report Friday afternoon with an illness. With the 21-year-old center sidelined, expect Jabari Walker to play heavy minutes against Denver and be a streaming option in deeper formats.
