Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (illness) is out, while centers Robert Williams III (foot) and Yang Hansen (back) are available for Thursday's game against Chicago. Clingan's absence opens frontcourt minutes, giving Williams per-minute upside appeal. Over his last five games, Williams has averaged 6.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks in 14.6 minutes, positioning him as a viable blocks streamer who can deliver efficient production even in a limited role. Hansen profiles as a deeper, riskier option. Jerami Grant and Toumani Camara should also see slight rebounding boosts with Clingan sidelined.

Williams has been productive when active, averaging 9.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 blocks across 19.3 minutes over his last five games while shooting 91.7 percent from the field.

Tue Jan 2718:22Robert Williams III is Ruled Out for Tuesday Night
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (back) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Blazers have decided to hold out Williams for the second game of this back-to-back set. It's not shocking to see the Blazers giving their oft-injured big man a maintenance day here. The expectation is that Williams will be back in the mix for Friday's game versus the New York Knicks. Donovan Clingan will see a boost in fantasy value, while Yang Hansen should see more run in the rotation as the backup. Fantasy managers should consider Clingan a plus-streaming option for Tuesday's slate. Hansen has been too inconsistent to trust, even with Williams on the sideline.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will not return to Friday's game against Houston after suffering a right knee injury and logged just seven minutes. He finished with three rebounds and one assist before exiting. Williams' status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday's matchup with New York. If he misses time, Donovan Clingan should continue handling heavy minutes after posting eight points, 15 rebounds, six assists, and two steals in 33 minutes, while Yang Hansen could see a modest uptick as the primary backup. Hansen profiles as a deep-league watch option only.

Williams has averaged 6.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 15.9 minutes this season. He may be a bit more productive on Monday night, as Dallas gives up the most points in the league to centers.

Sat Dec 27 202520:44Robert Williams III Inactive on Sunday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will sit out the first leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Boston Celtics. It would have been a special matchup for him against his former team, but Williams III also played on Friday night. By keeping him off the floor against Boston, the Trail Blazers will have Williams III play two games in four nights instead of three, reducing injury risk. Duop Reath will serve as the main backup center on Sunday. Williams III will presumably return to the lineup for Monday's favorable matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, who give up the fifth-most fantasy points to centers.

Fri Dec 26 202521:43Robert Williams III Available on Friday Night
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is available for Friday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. He wasn't available in the loss to Orlando on Tuesday. However, despite popping back up on the injury report ahead of this one, the 28-year-old will suit up. Williams has averaged 6.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks this season. Unfortunately, that type of production won't earn him a place in most fantasy lineups, especially since he'll continue to operate behind Donovan Clingan.

Tue Dec 23 202521:24Robert Williams III Sits Out Tuesday's Game
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will miss Tuesday's encounter with the Orlando Magic. The injury-prone big man will get the night off to rest his bad knee after making a fourth consecutive appearance in Monday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. With Williams III sidelined, Duop Reath will probably get a slight bump in playing time behind starting center Donovan Clingan. The Portland bigs are in a tricky spot on Tuesday, as Orlando generally contains centers well. However, Goga Bitadze's (knee) absence will work in their favor.

Sun Dec 14 202520:32Robert Williams III Available Against Golden State
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) will play on Sunday against the Warriors. The 28-year-old will return from a two-game stint on the shelf. He would have been in line to start had Donovan Clingan (leg) been ruled out. However, Clingan is available, so Williams isn't the best fantasy option in any format, especially versus Golden State, a team that has been solid on the defensive end during the 2025 campaign.
