3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers small forward Norman Powell (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's contest vs. Boston due to personal reasons. Powell will miss his seventh game in a row, allowing Nassir Little to remain among the starting five, where he has emerged as a consistent DFS target. Without Powell's 18.6 points per game available, Anfernee Simons has taken on an even larger offensive role, playing his way into near must-roster territory in all season-long formats. With Damian Lillard (abdominal) sidelined, Powell will garner similar interest upon his return. His next opportunity to suit up comes Sunday against Toronto, where he spent the first six years of his career.--Jesse Borek
