No surprise here as Grant is set to miss his 13th game in a row with a knee injury. Camara is out after injuring his ankle Thursday against the Raptors. Shaedon Sharpe will continue to start for Grant while Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray could see increased minutes with Camara out.
Simons has missed two in a row, but he's got a chance to return against Chicago. Camara injured his ankle in Thursday's matchup with Toronto, and it wouldn't be surprising if he sat out the second leg of Portland's back-to-back set. Simons' absence could free up more playing time for Dalano Banton, while Camara's absence would mean more minutes for Matisse Thybulle and Kris Murray.
Camara's exit was announced early in the fourth quarter, and he won't be available to close out this game. Matisse Thybulle should take on extra minutes in his place, and if Camara misses Portland's next game, Thybulle or Kris Murray would likely start in his place.
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.
