Knox (quadriceps) is available for Sunday's matchup against the Warriors.
Knox was listed as probable earlier Sunday, so his availability is unsurprising. Knox has taken advantage of playing more minutes down the stretch, averaging 14.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Trail Blazers' Kevin Knox: Probable Sunday
Rotowire
Knox is probable to play Sunday against the Warriors due to a right quad contusion.
Knox is dealing with a bruised quad, but it doesn't sound like it'll be keeping him off the floor for Sunday's regular-season finale. He should start and see plenty of minutes for a Portland team that will likely have only eight guys available, and he's coming off a 30-point, 11-rebound performance, so he's an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Trail Blazers' Kevin Knox: Records double-double
Rotowire
Knox registered 30 points (10-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Saturday's 136-125 loss to the Clippers.
Knox is one of the many Blazers players that has thrived with a more significant role, and after he was granted a start after a 24-point outing off the bench against the Spurs on Thursday, he didn't disappoint. Knox has scored 19 or more points in three of his last four appearances and is expected to have a sizable role in the season finale against the Warriors on Sunday.

Knox will make his second start in four games Tuesday with the Trail Blazers packing it in for the rest of the season. In his last start, he posted 12 points (6-16 FG) and 12 rebounds over 39 minutes and should handle a similar workload. He is worthy of a look as a streaming option.

Rotowire
Knox finished Wednesday's 120-80 loss to Sacramento with 12 points (6-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt), 12 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 39 minutes.
Knox drew his second start of the season and posted his first double-double. Over his last five appearances, the fifth-year forward has averaged 10.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game. As long as Portland continues to keep its regulars sidelined, Knox should have a clear path to solid usage for the remainder of the campaign.

Trail Blazers' Kevin Knox: Scores 15 points off bench
Rotowire
Knox contributed 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Monday's 124-90 loss to the Pelicans.
With numerous players ruled out before the game, Knox was in line for an increased role again, but Cam Reddish (back) leaving the contest early allowed Knox to see his most playing time since Jan. 10, when he played a season-high 33 minutes. Knox took advantage of the opportunity and scored his most points since Jan. 15, recording his third double-digit scoring outing over his past four appearances. As long as Portland remains banged up, Knox should at least be considered a potential streaming option.

Trail Blazers' Kevin Knox: Fails to score in two minutes
Rotowire
Knox logged no counting stats in two minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 loss to the Knicks.
Knox saw playing time down the stretch, coming on as the game descended into garbage time. Somehow still playing in the league, Knox has been nothing but disappointing since being drafted with the ninth pick in the 2018 draft. At this point, there is little reason to think anything changes moving forward.

Trail Blazers' Kevin Knox: Considered questionable
Rotowire
Knox (trade pending) is questionable for Monday's matchup against the Lakers.
Knox was part of the four-team trade between Atlanta, Golden State, Portland and Detroit that was being held up by Gary Payton's (abdomen) physical, so his status has been in limbo. However, the deal was finalized Sunday night, so he's officially a Trail Blazer and should be able to make his debut soon. Knox appears likely to be cleared Monday, but his official availability won't be known until closer to the 10 p.m. ET tip. Even if he does suit up, there's certainly a possibility he doesn't crack the rotation, so he can safely be left on the waiver wire in standard leagues.
