Donovan Clingan Set to Dominate Boards Against Depleted Grizzlies

Donovan Clingan, center for the Portland Trail Blazers, is an absolute must-start for fantasy this weekend and is expected to dominate the glass against a severely depleted Memphis Grizzlies frontcourt. Clingan ranks fifth in rebounds per game this season at 11.2, averaging 13.6 boards over his last eight games and 14+ over his last three home games. The Grizzlies, who just traded Jaren Jackson Jr. and Jock Landale, and have Santi Aldama and Zach Edey sidelined, are projected to have a "tiny lineup" that Clingan should "feast" on. Memphis has surrendered the ninth-most total rebounds and second-most offensive rebounds over their last 10 games. Clingan has averaged 10.8 points, 14.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks during Portland's recent six-game losing streak.
