Camara's improved offense and consistent defensive production have made him a valuable fantasy asset this season. Since the All-Star break, he has offered top 50 value in nine-cat formats. If Camara cannot play, Kris Murray may be tapped to fill the void in the starting lineup. However, he has offered limited fantasy value when allowed to start.
Clingan and Simons did not play in Friday's win over the Nuggets, so the Trail Blazers used a smaller lineup to compensate for the former's absence. Kris Murray and Scoot Henderson started against Denver and will likely retain their roles if Clingan and Simons remain out.
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.
Camara is back after missing Monday's win over the Wizards. His return means Kris Murray will come off the bench, where he offers limited fantasy value.
Camara sat out Monday's win over the Wizards, with Kris Murray replacing him in the starting lineup. While the second-year forward only scored five points, he was also responsible for 10 rebounds and four steals. Another player for fantasy managers to consider if they're looking for defensive production is Matisse Thybulle, who recorded five steals and one blocked shot in 22 minutes off the bench.
