NBC SportsRobert Williams (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Williams was not made available for Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers, as it was the second game in as many nights for the Trail Blazers. If he can play on Friday, Duop Reath would be the player most impacted after he logged 11 minutes on Wednesday. There's no need to roster Reath, regardless of Williams' availability.

NBC SportsDonovan Clingan (leg) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.

Clingan, who was injured during Tuesday's loss to the Raptors, started and logged 25 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. The second-year center's playing time could be limited on Friday, with Duop Reath sliding into the backup role if Robert Williams III cannot play. Portland has already ruled out Yang Hansen, as he has joined the team's G League affiliate. Reath or Williams will only be worth streaming if Clingan can't play.

NBC SportsDonovan Clingan (leg) is available for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Clingan is good to go after taking a knee to his left leg during Tuesday's loss to the Raptors. He will take on his usual role as the Trail Blazers' starting center, with Yang Hansen slotting into the backup role with Robert Williams III out.

NBC SportsRobert Williams (knee) has been ruled out against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Unsurprisingly, Williams will sit out the second leg of Portland's back-to-back. Donovan Clingan (leg) is questionable, and with Williams unavailable, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen are candidates to be part of the rotation. Kris Murray started in a smaller lineup during Clingan's last absence, and he should see a bump in minutes regardless of Clingan's status.

NBC SportsKris Murray (hip) is questionable to play against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

Murray's status for Wednesday's game could have a larger impact than it typically would. Donovan Clingan (leg) is also questionable, and Murray started when Clingan last missed a game. With Robert Williams (knee) out, Murray's status will be the main factor for deciding if Duop Reath and Yang Hansen will be part of the rotation for this game.
