Blazers Value
Portland’s strategy seems to be focused on developing their younger players, as evidenced by their recent games. Nassir Little and Kevin Knox both received the starting nod in the last game, with each playing a staggering 40 and 39 minutes, respectively. They were also quite aggressive, with Little taking 17 shots and Knox taking 16.
Knox had a solid performance, recording a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Little, on the other hand, struggled with just 10 points and two rebounds in his 40 minutes of action. However, given the amount of playing time he received, it’s likely he will have more opportunities to produce on Friday.
Portland’s injury woes have forced them to rely heavily on their remaining players, which could lead to another high workload for both Little and Knox. With Damian Lillard, Jerami Grant, Jusuf Nurkic, and Anfernee Simons all ruled out, the Blazers are short-handed and have a limited rotation.
Considering the current state of the Blazers’ roster, it’s highly likely that Knox will see at least 30 minutes of action on Friday. Little, despite his struggles in the previous game, could also be a viable option given his playing time and potential for shooting improvement. Both players could be solid value picks for DFS players looking for a budget-friendly way to fill out their lineups.
