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.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (leg) will return from a three-game stint on the shelf for Sunday's meeting with Golden State. The 21-year-old has averaged a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double this season while amassing 1.4 blocks per contest. His shooting numbers aren't the best (48.2% from the field and 24.1% from deep). However, Clingan has at least been a reliable fantasy contributor in a few statistical categories, offsetting his subpar shooting percentages. With Robert Williams III (illness) and Yang Hansen (face) also available, the Blazers will once again have depth at the five position. With that said, all three might have issues surpassing their usual fantasy projections versus a Warriors team that has been sound defensively throughout the 2025 campaign.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (leg) will sit out a third consecutive game on Thursday against the New Orleans Pelicans. The 21-year-old big man is nursing a lower leg contusion. Meanwhile, Robert Williams III (illness) and Yang Hansen (face) have been tagged as questionable on the injury report, meaning Portland may be shorthanded at the center position on Thursday night. It could be a big night for Duop Reath if Williams III and Hansen join Clingan on the sidelines. New Orleans allows the fourth-most fantasy points in the league to centers.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (leg) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Memphis Grizzlies. The 2024 No. 7 overall pick suffered a left lower leg contusion during the matchup versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, keeping him off the floor for Friday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Robert Williams III got the start in that one, finishing the night with eight points, 14 rebounds, and five blocks. If Clingan is out again, Williams is certainly worth streaming against the Grizzlies. Although Williams isn't the most efficient scorer, he is usually a lock to make up for it in other statistical areas.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (leg) will miss Friday's action against the Detroit Pistons. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers will have Robert Williams III (knee) back in the mix on Friday, helping to compensate for the absence of Clingan. Williams III will start the contest, with Duop Reath providing backup at the center position. Kris Murray (hip) may also pick up some of the available minutes in his return from a one-game absence.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (illness) won't play on Sunday against OKC. The 21-year-old has averaged 10.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks this season. He also hasn't missed a game after logging 67 as a rookie. Hopefully, the illness he's dealing with won't keep him off the floor beyond Sunday's meeting with the champs. With that said, Robert Williams III, coming off a 10-point, five-rebound, four-block performance, can be considered for streaming purposes in all fantasy formats. Williams will also be a popular DFS value option despite the challenging matchup on the horizon.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Sunday's game in Oklahoma City, while Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out, solidifying Clingan as the clear centerpiece of Portland's interior rotation. Clingan has been in strong form recently, averaging 14.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over his past five games, including a 22-point, 10-rebound showing in his last outing. With Williams sidelined, Clingan should handle a heavier dose of minutes and defensive responsibility, giving him a stable path to rebounds and blocks with some scoring upside. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath remain deep-league contingency streamers, while Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant could see occasional small-ball frontcourt usage if Portland adjusts matchups.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against OKC due to a left ankle sprain, and fellow big man Robert Williams III (knee) is also questionable, leaving Portland's frontcourt in a precarious spot. Clingan has averaged 14.6 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks over his past five games, highlighted by a 22-point, 10-rebound performance in his last outing. If both centers sit, the team will be forced into expanded minutes for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, who become deep-league streamers for rebounds and blocks. Deni Avdija and Jerami Grant would see heavier usage as well, with Portland likely leaning smaller in competitive minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Clingan was a late addition to the injury report and will now miss this contest due to an illness. This is the first time that Clingan has missed a game since early February. The Blazers are already without Deandre Ayton (calf), so losing Clingan leaves them shorthanded. That being said, the Blazers will likely use a committee approach to fill the void. That means, Jabari Walker, Duop Reath, and Kris Murray could all see increased roles. Between the three, Walker is the best streaming choice and is someone worth looking at for Friday's slate.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Donovan Clingan (illness) is a late addition to the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Clingan is in danger of missing his first contest since early February. The 21-year-old rookie has been a rebounding monster lately with 11 boards or more in each of his last four games. Jabari Walker and Duop Reath would likely be asked to play bigger roles if Clingan is unable to go. Fantasy managers will need to check back ahead of tip-off for more information.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (ankle) will return to the lineup as a starter on Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Deandre Ayton (knee) and Robert Williams III (hand) are both out for the contest, so we should see plenty of Clingan in action. Jabari Walker and Duop Reath will provide backup at the center position. In his previous eight career starts, Clingan has averaged 8.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.9 blocks in 22.9 minutes.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (ankle) was unable to play on Thursday with an ankle sprain, but he's now listed as probable for the second half of the back-to-back against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday. The rookie big man has missed the last five games but posted some solid performances in the three games he played before that. He's played at least 22 minutes in those three games and collected at least 10 rebounds and one block in each one. Clingan serves a solid streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper category leagues.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (ankle) is poised to miss at least one week of action. The rookie big man hurt his ankle in Tuesday's contest against Brooklyn, and the team has announced that Clingan will be re-evaluated in one week. He was diagnosed with a mild left-ankle sprain. Clingan joins Robert Williams III (illness) on the sidelines, so Portland's starting center Deandre Aytonmay be very busy over the next few games. Duop Reath is an additional option for the center position on the bench, but he has featured very sparingly in 2024-25.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (knee) is available ahead of Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The rookie big man has missed the last seven games due to a right knee injury. As a result, Clingan will have a minutes limit during Friday's game. He wasn't doing great before going down, but Clingan did have a 19-rebound game in his most recent contest. Clingan won't be a strong streaming option while under a minutes limit. However, he's someone worth monitoring if the Blazers do decide to give him more run later in the season.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (knee) will miss a third straight game on Friday while he suffers from a sprained knee. With Robert Williams III (concussion protocol) listed as doubtful, the Trail Blazers will likely be very thin in the frontcourt. Deandre Ayton will get heavy minutes in the starting five while Duop Reath could see some minutes in this one. If they decide to go with a small-ball lineup, Toumani Camara or Jabari Walker may play some center too.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan (knee) is expected to be out for at least a couple of weeks. The rookie big man has suffered an MCL sprain and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Clingan, who averages 5.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks for the campaign, will miss a second consecutive contest on Wednesday versus Indiana. With Deandre Ayton (finger) questionable and Robert Williams III (concussion) also out, Duop Reath should become a popular man among fantasy managers again. A season ago, Reath averaged 13.9 points and 5.8 rebounds in 27.4 minutes as a starter.

Portland Trail Blazers center Donovan Clingan will start in Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie has averaged 4.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks this season. However, with Deandre Ayton (finger) ruled out, Clingan will get a chance to show his stuff. Without question, he'll be a popular late-night DFS option, although Robert Williams III could be in line for a productive outing, even though he'll continue to operate under a minutes cap.
