Chris Kaman Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections
Chris Kaman (abdomen) questionable for Wednesday
Chris Kaman is considered questionable for the Blazers finale due to a strained abdomen. Kaman has not played in the last two games and has only made two appearances in the last eleven games. Ed Davis is getting a bulk of the big man minutes off the bench but has also regressed lately. Mason Plumlee is the big player to target in the Blazers frontcourt. Plumlee is averaging 33.78 FanDuel fpts over his last five games, making him a strong mid-range play against the Nuggets.
Chris Kaman (ankle) not on the injury report today
Kaman suffered an ankle injury in last night's victory over the Kings. Kaman is not relevant for DFS purposes since he rarely see over 10 minutes a game. Expect Kaman to be available tonight against the Thunder. Even if he does play, there is too much risk in rostering Kaman.
Moe Harkless not on injury report for Thursday; Chris Kaman questionable
Harkless is dealing with an illness but is not on the Blazers injury report for Thursday, indicating that he should be good to go. He's been performing well over the past few games as the starter and may continue to run with the first unit tomorrow against Boston, although Terry Stotts may opt to use Noah Vonleh to counter the size of the Celtics front-court. Kaman isn't likely to see the court even if he's active, so any news on him doesn't hold DFS relevance.
Chris Kaman (illness) ruled out for Monday
Chris Kaman has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Kings. Kaman has not played the last four games so his absence is not earth-shattering news. With Kaman out of the lineup Cliff Alexander and Luis Montero might get some playing time. Both are minimum priced players across the industry and are not DFS relevant at this time. Look for Ed Davis to continue his recent hot play against the Kings. Davis is averaging 29.88 DKFP over his last five games, making for a strong punt option against the Kings B-Team.
Meyer Leonard (shoulder) ruled out for Thursday
Meyers Leonard has been ruled out with a shoulder injury for Thursday's contest with the Spurs. Ed Davis will likely pick up his minutes but is a low-end DFS option. Leonard has only been playing about 20 minutes a game so Noah Vonleh could see a slight bump along with Chris Kaman and Pat Connaughton. None of them are truly viable candidates for DFS with Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum getting a majority of the usage for the Blazers.
Chris Kaman starting at C, Plumlee at PF
The Trail Blazers have listed Chris Kaman as the starter tonight against the Spurs. Noah Vonleh started the last game will go back to the bench, losing all DFS value. Plumlee will also have a tough matchup against LaMarcus Aldridge. This game is projected to be a blowout, so a handful of players can see minutes in this game. Kaman is not a worthy late-swap option.
Chris Kaman starting at C, Plumlee at PF
The Portland Trail Blazers have inserted veteran big man Chris Kaman at center and will go with Mason Plumlee at PF. This keeps Ed Davis coming off the bench and will need all hands on deck tonight against the Grizzlies big men. Kaman makes for an interesting option, but expect for Plumlee to be the better play. Noah Vonleh will also get some minutes but will not be a factor unless another injury strikes.
