Thybulle ended with 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 loss to the Knicks.
Thybulle put together a strong performance in the loss, matching his season high in scoring. While his defensive production has been stable since arriving in Portland, Thybulle's offensive contributions have fluctuated, not unlike his career to this point. He has been able to add a somewhat reliable three-point shot to his repertoire but should still be viewed as a defensive streamer in most competitive leagues.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Stays quiet vs. Philly
Rotowire
Thybulle produced five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to the 76ers.
Thybulle has been held to single figures in the scoring column over his last five contests, but he continues to contribute on the defensive end. He's tallied a steal in 14 straight games and recorded a block Friday night, marking his sixth of March through six appearances. Thybulle's production in the scoring column won't raise any eyebrows, but his defensive stats make him worth considering in deeper leagues.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Posts season-high four blocks
Rotowire
Thybulle racked up 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Pelicans.
Thybulle put forth a great defensive effort Wednesday, tying Damian Lillard for the team lead in rebounds with eight while also posting a game and season-high four blocks, all of which came in the first half. The shooting added 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor to go along with a season-high four assists as the Trail Blazers lost their second straight. Thybulle has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games, going 7-of-10 from three over that brief stretch.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Continues strong play
Rotowire
Thybulle posted 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 loss to the Warriors.
Thybulle was lights out from deep en route to his highest-scoring outing since joining the Trail Blazers. The defensive-minded forward has started all five contests with his new squad and is averaging 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from deep. Thybulle's three-point shot has been a revelation in Portland, but fantasy managers should brace for regression at some point. Either way, the fourth-year pro's sizable role and defensive production make him a quality streaming option in category leagues.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Continues strong defensive play
Rotowire
Thybulle registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 131-114 win over Houston.
Thybulle has started all four games since being traded to Portland and is averaging 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game. During that stretch, he's shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from deep. This is all very positive for the fourth-year forward, who saw his role dramatically dip in Philadelphia before being traded, but what puts Thybulle on fantasy radars is his strong production in the defensive categories. OG Anunoby currently leads the league with 2.0 steals per game, so if Thybulle can continue at his current pace, he may be one of the best streaming options for steals in category leagues during the fantasy playoffs.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Supplies four steals Tuesday
Rotowire
Thybulle provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four steals, one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes in Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards.
Predictably, Thybulle's output on the offensive end took a step back in the second leg of the back-to-back set after he erupted for 14 points on 4-for-6 shooting from three-point range in his Trail Blazers debut Monday against the Lakers. Fantasy managers should take whatever they get from Thybulle in the scoring column as a bonus moving forward, but as long as he can hold down a 25-plus-minute role, he'll have some appeal as a specialist in the two defensive categories. On a per-36-minute basis, Thybulle has averaged 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks for his career.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Flashes offense in team debut
Rotowire
Thybulle ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 127-115 win over the Lakers.
Thybulle played his first game for Portland since the team acquired him in a trade last week, and he got a starting assignment with Jerami Grant out with a concussion. While Thybulle's bread and butter is undoubtedly his defense, the former 76er unexpectedly showed off his shooting touch, drilling a campaign-high four three-pointers and finishing with double-digit points for just the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro didn't let down on defense either, swatting three shots and notching one theft. Thybulle isn't likely to put up these type of offensive numbers on a frequent basis, as he's yet to average more than 5.7 points per game in any professional campaign.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Enters starting five
Rotowire
Thybulle is starting in his Portland debut Monday night against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Thybulle is set to make his first appearance as a Trail Blazer, and it'll be in a starting role due to the absence of Jerami Grant (concussion). The Washington product averaged 3.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his last 10 contests with Philadelphia.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Omitted from injury report
Rotowire
Thybulle (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Lakers.
Thybulle was acquired by Portland ahead of the trade deadline, but he was unable to make his Blazers debut Friday against Oklahoma City. However, he's been left off the injury report ahead of Monday's contest, so it appears like he'll suit up and be available against Los Angeles, though it's unclear if he'll have a role in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Thybulle (recently traded) will not play against the Thunder on Friday.
The Blazers acquired Thybulle at the deadline, and he does have a significant opportunity to pick up some of the minutes left by Josh Hart, who is now in New York. Fantasy managers in need of steals and blocks will want to keep a close eye on him going forward.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Traded to Portland
Rotowire
The Trail Blazers acquired Thybulle from the 76ers on Thursday in a three-team deal that sent Jalen McDaniels to Philadelphia and Svi Mykhailiuk to the Hornets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The 76ers also received 2024 and 2029 second-round picks in the deal while the Hornets received 2023 and 2027 second-round picks.
Thybulle has spent the first four seasons of his career in Philadelphia but struggled to find much playing time early in the 2022-23 campaign, averaging a career-low 12.1 minutes over 49 appearances. However, the 25-year-old should have a chance to compete with Cam Reddish for minutes in Portland after the Trail Blazers traded incumbent starting small forward Josh Hart to the Knicks on Wednesday. When given extended run, Thybulle has shown the ability to put up defensive statistics at an elite clip, but he has little offensive game to fall back on.

76ers' Matisse Thybulle: Shines in limited minutes
Rotowire
Thybulle finished with 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, two steals and one rebound in 11 minutes off the bench in Monday's 119-109 loss to the Magic.
Despite playing less than 13 minutes in each of the past three contests, Thybulle has produced at least two steals in all of those games and 10-point outings on two occasions. Even for a defensive standout like Thybulle, maintaining that sort of steals production in that sort of limited playing time isn't sustainable, and his track record suggests that the modest scoring outputs may be even more difficult to uphold. Unless the 76ers decide to clear the way for Thybulle to play north of 20 minutes per game, he won't be someone who warrants much attention outside of deeper leagues.

76ers' Matisse Thybulle: Tallies three steals off bench
Rotowire
Thybulle totaled 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and three steals across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 137-133 victory over the Nets.
Despite coming off the bench Wednesday, Thybulle led the 76ers in steals while scoring in double figures for just the second time this season. The 25-year-old hasn't been a fantasy-relevant player this year and has averaged 2.8 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 13.8 minutes per game over 12 appearances in January.

76ers' Matisse Thybulle: Not starting Monday
Rotowire
Thybulle will operate off the bench during Monday's matchup against the Raptors.
Thybulle drew back-to-back starts but will return to his usual bench role Monday, as Tobias Harris reclaims his spot in the first five following a one-game absence due to a back injury. Across 17 appearances as a reserve, Thybulle has averaged 1.9 points and 1.1 rebounds in 10.6 minutes per game.

76ers' Matisse Thybulle: Catches fire from deep in win
Rotowire
Thybulle scored a season-high 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) to go with two rebounds in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 123-103 win over the Kings.
Thybulle moved into the starting five in place of the injured De'Anthony Melton (back) and came through with an excellent shooting performance, but he didn't provide any defensive stats, which was likely the main reason any fantasy managers might have streamed him Tuesday. After averaging at least one block and steal per game over the previous two seasons, the 25-year-old is down to 0.2 blocks and 0.8 steals per contest in 2022-23.

76ers' Matisse Thybulle: Deemed questionable for Monday
Rotowire
Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Atlanta, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.
Thybulle is dealing with tenosynovitis in his left ankle, which has forced him to miss three consecutive contests. Even if he's available, the fourth-year wing is averaging only 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game, so he can safely be ignored in most fantasy formats.

Thybulle (ankle) is out Sunday against the Magic.
Thybulle's left ankle soreness will continue to sideline him. He's struggled to find a role this season and hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Nov. 13. His presence doesn't affect the rotation much at this point.
