The Trail Blazers are without Toumani Camara, who has an ankle injury. An equally elite defender replaces him as Thybulle moves into the lineup. Thybulle may not hit 30 minutes, but the opportunity to start makes him worth a look in deep leagues.

Thybulle, who struggled with knee and ankle injuries, made his season debut on Sunday. While he only played six minutes, the Trail Blazers wing didn’t take long to show why he can be valuable to fantasy managers. Thybulle recorded two steals during his first stint on the court, and his block of an Orlando Robinson three-point attempt in the final seconds preserved the victory. There’s no need to consider adding Thybulle due to the playing time, but seeing him on the court was good. Portland begins a four-game Week 20 against the Wizards on Monday; don’t expect to see Thybulle in uniform.

Thybulle was available to make his season debut on Wednesday after missing time with an ankle injury but did not see any action. Blazers coach Chauncey Billups stuck with a nine-man rotation, with Kris Murray (three points, two rebounds and four steals) playing 15 minutes off the bench. Even if Thybulle enters the rotation, he’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball this season.
