Kris Murray

Kris Murray, Jabari Walker should see elevated playing time, but Shaedon Sharpe is the biggest fantasy beneficiary if Grant or Avdija are forced to miss another contest.

Both wings missed Friday's game against Brooklyn, which allowed Kris Murray and Shaedon Sharpe to slide into the starting lineup. If Avdija and Grant remain out, both Murray and Sharpe should start again, with Sharpe as the better streaming option.

Due to injury, Portland is without Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant for Friday's game. Sharpe and Murray have filled the two voids in the starting lineup, with the latter boasting a significantly higher fantasy ceiling. Murray may be most valuable during the "silly season," but he isn't a must-stream player in this particular spot.

Avdija injured his quad Wednesday against Washington while Jerami Grant hasn't missed a game in a little over two weeks. Kris Murray and Shaedon Sharpe stand as the biggest beneficiaries with Portland down two of its forwards. Sharpe has had some big scoring games this year when the Trail Blazers are missing key players.

Avdija sustained the left quad injury in Wednesday's matchup with Washington, but he may be available to take the court without missing a game. Grant hasn't missed a game since February 12. Kris Murray and Shaedon Sharpe will be the biggest beneficiaries if Avdija or Grant are sidelined on Frday.
