Will not return Thybulle will not return to Friday's game against Dallas due to a right foot sprain. He finished scoreless with two rebounds, one steal and one block in 14 minutes.

Impact The Trail Blazers were getting run out of the building when Thybulle left the game for good, so the lopsided score could've factored into the decision. For now, Thybulle should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against Brooklyn. If he's unavailable to play, there could be more minutes for Toumani Camara and Kris Murray.

Starting Friday Reath is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.

Impact Ibou Badji will move to the bench with Reath joining the first unit. Reath has fared well in limited minutes this season, but he was ejected after just six minutes in Wednesday's game versus Dallas after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul.

Will not play Friday Walker (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Mavericks, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official sitereports.

Impact Walker was initially listed as doubtful after he picked up his knee injury Wednesday versus Dallas, so it's not a surprise to see him ruled out. The Trail Blazers are already shorthanded in the frontcourt, so there could be a lot of opportunities for guys like Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Matisse Thybulle.

Unlikely to play Friday Walker (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Mavericks.

Won't suit up Friday Brown (wrist) is out for Friday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Brown will miss his second straight game Friday due to a left wrist sprain. With Deandre Ayton (knee) still out, Duop Reath and Ibou Badji will likely split time at center. Brown's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Brooklyn.

Doncic leads Dallas against Portland after 41-point game

Dallas plays the Portland Trail Blazers after Luka Doncic scored 41 points in the Dallas Mavericks' 126-97 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers

JANUARY 4, 2024 • Associated Press

Drops four triples Wednesday Thybulle ended with 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Thybulle moved back to the bench, yet played more than a number of the starters. This was an ugly game, resulting in the Trail Blazers trotting out several strange lineups. Even when starting, Thybulle cannot be trusted as a consistent fantasy asset. At best, he should be viewed as a defensive specialist who can be streamed in, if and when the time arises.

Passive performance in loss Grant finished Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Mavericks with 10 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), one rebound and two assists in 20 minutes.

Impact Grant attempted just nine shots in the loss, ending with 10 points in 20 minutes. With the game all but gone by half time, the starters were used sparingly down the stretch. Although Grant has a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, the fact Portland is likely to be involved in several blowouts does not bode well for his ceiling moving forward.

JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rough night in return Simons contributed 15 points (5-16 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Simons returned to action after missing three straight games due to an illness, ending with 15 points on poor shooting. The Trail Blazers were never in the game, resulting in limited minutes for the starters. Managers will have to look beyond this performance and simply be thankful that Simons was back on the floor. Look for him to bounce back when the two teams clash again Friday.
