2026 NBA Finals Odds: OKC Still Favored Amid Major Injury Blow; Knicks Fourth

Grabs 10 rebounds in win Clingan ended Friday's 128-120 victory over the Kings with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 19 minutes.

Impact Cilngan led the Trail Blazers in rebounding and had a quiet night as a scorer until the closing minutes. With Sacramento within three, he scored a late basket and made two free throws to help seal the win. The third-year center's minutes have held steady at the start of the season, with Robert Williams filling in off the bench.

Collects seven assists in victory Morant closed with 12 points (5-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Friday's 128-120 win over the Kings.

Impact Morant took a back seat as a scorer and finished second on the team in assists behind Jrue Holiday. Portland acquired Morant from Memphis in an offseason trade that sent Jerami Grant and Kris Murray to the Grizzlies. He's still finding his place alongside Deni Avdija and Damian Lillard, and it may take a couple of weeks for his role to crystallize.

Cools off beyond the arc Lillard racked up 19 points (7-18 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Friday's 128-120 victory over the Kings.

Impact Lillard tied Toumani Camara for second on the team in scoring but cooled off from deep, making just two of his 10 three-point attempts after hitting six in the opener. The veteran guard missed all of last season while rehabbing a torn Achilles tendon after rejoining Portland, and his early workload has been encouraging. Lillard and the Blazers visit the Lakers on Tuesday.

Superb in team's second win Avdija finished with 26 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 9-12 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 128-120 win over the Kings.

Impact Avdija led Portland in scoring, adding six rebounds and six assists as the Trail Blazers moved to 2-0. He was a game-time decision with a right ankle injury before Wednesday's opener, but he logged a team-high 38 minutes Friday, so the ankle doesn't look like a lingering problem. Last season's breakout star remains the focal point of the offense even with Damian Lillard and Ja Morant now in the backcourt.

Deni Avdija scores 26 points to lead Trail Blazers in win over Kings

Deni Avdija led the Trail Blazers with 26 points, six rebounds, and six assists in the Portland Trail Blazers 128-120 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Friday

Nets 19 points with five triples Camara registered 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes in Friday's 128-120 win over the Kings.

Impact Camara has been shooting the lights out through the first two games of the season, converting 61.9 percent of his shot attempts and 52.9 percent of his long-balls. Eventually these numbers will drop off, but he is getting a ton of wide-open looks playing alongside Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and Deni Avdija.

Sniffs double-double in win Clingan amassed 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 victory over the Suns.

Impact None of Portland's starters reached the 25-minute marker, as Wednesday's season opener got out of hand early. Clingan still was able to flirt with a double-double, and bigger performances are likely ahead in more competitive contests.

Pops for 15 points off bench in opener Henderson provided 15 points (7-14 FG, 1-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 124-83 victory over the Suns.

Impact While all five Portland starters scored in double digits during the rout, Henderson was the only member of the second unit to deliver 10-plus points. The fourth-year guard is firmly behind Damian Lillard and Ja Morant on the backcourt depth chart to begin the season and is working off the bench with Jrue Holiday, but after a strong training camp and preseason, Henderson could be poised to thrive in that role.

Strong showing in Blazers debut Morant ended with 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 victory over Phoenix.

Impact While backcourt-mate Damian Lillard led all scorers with 25 points, Morant led Portland in assists and had an efficient shooting night as well. Simply staying on the court will be Morant's top priority after he suited up for only 79 regular-season games over his final three seasons in Memphis, but he's healthy to begin 2026-27 and is getting a clean slate with the Blazers.

Double-double in season opener Avdija closed Wednesday's 124-83 victory over Phoenix with 18 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals in 23 minutes.

Impact Damian Lillard celebrated his return to Portland with a game-high 25 points, but Avdija was plenty productive as well, delivering the game's only double-double. The 25-year-old forward is coming off a career-best 2025-26 campaign that saw him score 24.2 points with 6.9 boards, 6.7 assists, 1.9 threes and 1.4 combined steals and blocks, and while the Blazers offense will now flow through the duo of Lillard and Ja Morant in the backcourt, it's encouraging that in Avdija's first game alongside them, his shot volume didn't take a big dip from the 16.1 FG attempts he averaged last season.

Chips in 18 points in rout Camara recorded 18 points (6-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 win over the Suns.

Impact Every Trail Blazers starter scored in double digits, and the team built a 21-0 lead in the first quarter before the visitors even got on the board. Camara will look to provide stable secondary scoring in an offense that flows through the veteran backcourt of Damian Lillard and Ja Morant, and the fourth-year forward is coming off a career-best 2025-26 campaign that saw him average 13.4 points, 5.1 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.3 minutes while playing all 82 regular-season games.

Hits for game-high 25 in return to Portland Lillard recorded 25 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 124-83 victory over the Suns.

Impact In his first actual game action since being re-acquired by Portland last July, Lillard produced game highs in points and made three-pointers. He looked good alongside Ja Morant in the Blazers' new-look backcourt, and Lillard seemed fully recovered from the Achilles injury that cost him all of 2025-26. The 36-year-old guard had averaged at least 24.0 points, 7.0 assists, 4.0 boards and 3.0 threes in six straight seasons prior to the injury, and he seems more than capable of returning to that level of production.
