Questionable with illness
Clingan (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Analysis
The second-year big man missed Sunday's game against the Thunder with an illness, and the Trail Blazers are likely to re-evaluate him closer to Tuesday's tipoff. More playing time would be open to Robert Williams off the bench if Clingan is unable to suit up against Toronto, and Kris Murray would also have additional streaming appeal in this case.

Won't play Sunday
Clingan (illness) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
Clingan will miss his first game of the season due to an illness, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's game in Toronto. Expect more minutes for Robert Williams and Duop Reath with Clingan unavailable Sunday.

Dealing with illness
Clingan is questionable for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to an illness.
Analysis
Clingan could be on the verge of missing a game for the first time this season since he's dealing with an illness. The second-year big man has been a regular starter at center for the Blazers, averaging 10.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 blocks per game through 19 contests. If he's unable to play, Robert Williams and Duop Reath would be the next in line to see minutes at center.

Grabs team-high 11 rebounds
Clingan amassed nine points (3-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 115-102 loss to the Spurs.
Analysis
Clingan's shot volume wasn't very high, but he recorded great numbers on the glass against a shorthanded Spurs frontcourt. He's currently averaging a double-double (10.2 points, 10.0 rebounds) over the first 19 games, and the big man also has a spotless attendance record.

Continues improved play
Clingan recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 115-103 victory over Milwaukee.
Analysis
Clingan immediately made his presence felt in this game, posting three points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the first eight minutes. The second-year big man's start to the season was up and down, but it's been mostly up lately. Across the past six games, he's averaged 14.3 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 blocks in 26.5 minutes. Portland has been dealing with some absences during this stretch, namely to Jrue Holiday (calf) and Shaedon Sharpe (calf), so Clingan has gotten more involved.
