Jrue Holiday - Not starting in return Holiday (calf) won't start against the Knicks on Sunday.

Impact Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain and will be on a minutes restriction during his return to action, per Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland. While the veteran point guard will likely need some time to work his way back to his regular role, his presence should leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert.

Jrue Holiday - Will play Sunday Holiday (calf) will play Sunday versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Impact Head coach Tiago Splitter acknowledged that with this being Holiday's first game in nearly two months, he will have some minutes restrictions, making Holiday a risky target in daily fantasy leagues. He should be activated in season-long settings, though, and Holiday's return could cut into the playing time of Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love.

Kris Murray - Diagnosed with lumbar strain Murray has been diagnosed with a lumbar strain in his lower back and he's currently without an official timetable to return.

Impact Murray will miss his third consecutive game Sunday with a lumbar strain, and with no firm return date, it seems unlikely he'll play at all during Week 13. Until we receive a positive update on Murray's rehab process, he should be considered week-to-week.

Jrue Holiday - Upgraded to probable Holiday (calf) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Knicks.

Impact It appears that Holiday will be making his return from what was nearly a two-month layoff, so expect him to be operating with some heavy minutes restrictions in his first game back.

Robert Williams III - Questionable to face New York Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Williams left during the second quarter of the Trail Blazers' 111-105 win over the Rockets on Friday after sustaining a right knee injury. If he's not cleared to play Sunday, then Yang Hansen would be in line for a more prominent role off the bench behind starting center Donovan Clingan.

Kris Murray - Out once again Murray (back) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Murray will miss a third straight game since he's dealing with a lumbar strain, but his absence won't cause a lot of issues in most fantasy formats. His next chance to play will come against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Jerami Grant - Not playing vs. New York Grant (Achilles) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Grant hasn't played since Dec. 18 due to a nagging Achilles injury, and it seems he doesn't have a clear date for his return to the hardwood. Caleb Love should continue to see steady minutes with Grant out, and the veteran will aim to be ready for Tuesday's matchup against the Warriors.

Impact Holiday hasn't played since Nov. 14 due to a right calf strain but is trending in the right direction after receiving a questionable tag. If the veteran point guard is cleared to play, it wouldn't be surprising to see him operate under a minutes restriction. Still, his presence would leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert.
