Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Fills stat sheet Sunday
Rotowire
Camara had 21 points (8-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Sunday's 105-102 victory over the Raptors.
Camara had a well-rounded stat line and finished with at least two tallies in the five major categories while shooting efficiently from three-point range. That two-way impact has been key for Camara, and even though he doesn't hover around the 20-point mark often, he remains a valuable fantasy alternative due to his all-around production. He's averaging 12.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and a combined 2.3 steals-plus-blocks over his last 10 outings.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Grabs 10 rebounds in loss
Rotowire
Camara produced seven points (2-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 107-89 loss to the Thunder.
Camara has muscled his way into an everyday role with the Trail Blazers, but his overall volatility makes him a risky fantasy proposition. He has double-double potential when he makes enough shot attempts. Still, he's occasionally the odd man out with playmakers like Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe and Deni Avdija (quad) around him. Avdija's absence offered him additional opportunity at the wing during Saturday's loss, which is the likely reason for the increased rebound total.
Camara chipped in 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), nine rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Monday's 119-102 win over the 76ers.
Camara continues to thrive for the shorthanded Trail Blazers, and his fantasy value is soaring. Over his last 10 games, Camara has produced top-30 value in nine-category formats, averaging 13.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.1 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.8 three-pointers in 34.8 minutes per contest.

The second-year forward has found a way to remain consistent every time he steps on the court and has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances. He's averaging 12.5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game in 11 outings this month.

It's the third time during the Blazers' current six-game win streak that the 2023 second-round pick has pulled down double-digit rebounds, and over that stretch, Camara is averaging 11.2 points, 8.7 boards, 1.8 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks while shooting 53.1 percent from the floor and 40.0 percent (8-for-20) from long distance.

Trail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Questionable with illness
Rotowire
Camara (illness) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
After missing Tuesday's win over the Heat with an illness, Camara's game status against Orlando remains uncertain. Given the nature of Camara's ailment, the team will likely wait until closer to Thursday's tipoff to update his designation. If the 24-year-old is unavailable for Portland, the Blazers would figure to lean on Deni Avdija from the first unit and give Scoot Henderson extra playing time.
