Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Plays season-high 31 minutes
Rotowire
Thybulle finished with 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 118-106 win over the Pelicans.
The 31 minutes were a season high for Thybulle, who appears to be ready to handle nearly a full workload following a lengthy layoff with a knee injury. Over his last six outings, Thybulle has averaged 9.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 21.9 minutes per game.
Thybulle had 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one block and three steals over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 130-99 victory over the Bucks.
After missing a big chunk of the season due to a knee injury, Thybulle is beginning to see his playing time creep up a bit. He's logged at least 23 minutes in two of his past three games, and Thybulle has recorded a trio of steals in each contest during this stretch.
Thybulle logged six points (2-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal over 14 minutes during Wednesday's 127-119 victory over the Pacers.
Thybulle recorded at least one steal for the 11th straight game, despite continuing to play no more than 15 minutes on most nights. While the defensive contributions have been stream-worthy, the fact that he does very little else makes him a very specific target.

Since making his return from a long-term knee injury, Thybulle has recorded at least one steal in all but one of his games. In 10 appearances, he has averaged 1.6 steals in 11.7 minutes per game, putting him firmly on the streaming radar as a specialist.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Will play Friday
Rotowire
Thybulle (knee) will play Friday versus the Nuggets, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Thybulle hasn't played since Oct. 29, so we'd anticipate some heavy minutes restrictions in his first game back. However, even in limited minutes, Thybulle is capable of racking up the steals, so he's on the radar as a potential steals specialist in deep leagues.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Thybulle (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Thybulle managed to log a full practice Thursday, per Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland, so he appears to be trending in the right direction after being sidelined since Oct. 29 due to a right knee injury. The Blazers will presumably monitor Thybulle closely leading up to tipoff before providing another update on his availability.

Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Thybulle (thumb) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Nuggets.
Thybulle hurt his thumb during Wednesday's game and will now miss Friday's contest, which could help Rayan Rupert get into the rotation again. Thybulle's next chance to play will come Monday against the Lakers.
Thybulle has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a left thumb injury.
Thybulle was initially listed on the injury report with a hip injury, but it appears he picked up a thumb injury during Wednesday's tilt. He'll finish the contest with thre points (1-1 3Pt), one assist and two steals in five minutes. Look for Rayan Rupert and Caleb Love to see more action with Thybulle sidelined. His next chance to play will come Friday against Denver.
