Caleb Love

Murray did not play in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, resulting in more playing time for Caleb Love. The rookie guard played 27 minutes on Wednesday and scored 20 points. If Murray remains out, Love would be worth a roll of the dice in extremely deep leagues.

Murray's production does not affect fantasy basketball when he's available. His absence will free up some minutes for Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert, with the former offering a higher offensive ceiling. However, neither player is worth streaming as Portland will have its expected starting five available.

Avdija's potential absence on the second night of a back-to-back would open up a ton of minutes and a starting spot. Shaedon Sharpe would likely move back into the starting lineup, while Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert could take on larger roles off the bench, though neither would play enough to be worth streaming in standard leagues.

Sharpe will miss a second straight game with a strained right calf. While the Trail Blazers have not provided an exact return timeline for the guard, fantasy managers should plan for the possibility that Sharpe will remain out for a bit. Sidy Cissoko started Friday's win over the Warriors, with him and Caleb Love providing excellent contributions. Look for them to take on similar roles on Sunday.

Henderson has yet to appear in a game this season, as he suffered a torn left hamstring during an individual workout before the start of training camp. As recently as Tuesday, he told The Athletic that he still wasn't doing much movement. Henderson has been limited to stationary shooting and some ball-handling drills, so it's crucial to keep in mind that the two-to-four-week timeframe is for a re-evaluation of the injury. With Jrue Holiday (calf) out at least one to two weeks, expect to see plenty of Deni Avdija on the ball. Caleb Love should continue to play rotation minutes off the bench, and he's worth tracking in deep leagues.
