Kaman got the start at center Monday, scoring eight points (3-8 FG, 2-2 FT) with 11 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 27 minutes during a win over the Lakers. Thomas Robinson saw just 13 minutes, so it looks like Kaman will be the guy in the middle for the Blazers over the next couple of weeks. Don't expect those block numbers every night, but he should be a modest source of points and boards as long as he remains in the starting lineup.

Kaman started at center for Portland on Monday against the Lakers, the Oregonian reports. There were conflicting reports ahead of Monday's game on whether Kaman or Thomas Robinson would get the start, although Kaman ended up in the starting five which was announced only moments before tipoff. He is currently averaging 18.8 minutes per game and may see a slight increase in that number for Monday's game, albeit limited.

Kaman was believed to sit out of this game due to the birth of his child. However, he ended up playing this game and finished with 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT) nine rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 20 minutes. Kaman came through for his team, despite previously stating that he would miss this game. With few bodies toppled around the rim, Kaman was able to grab a healthy amount of rebounds in a limited amount of time. As long as Lopez and Aldridge miss time he's going to be able to put up good numbers in the short term.

Kaman (personal) will play in Sunday's game against the Knicks, the Oregonian reports. Kaman had to miss Friday's game due to a family issue as well as Saturday's practice, but will be available for their game against the Knicks on Sunday. He'll most likely see a ton of time with both LaMarcus Aldridge and Robin Lopez sidelined, so he could be a solid fantasy option due to that extra increase in playing time. AS soon as they're back, Kaman will lose some of his fantasy value.

Kaman (personal) did not practice Saturday, but could return to the team in time to play Sunday, Erik Gundersen of the Columbian reports. Normally Kaman's return would not be particularly relevant to fantasy, but with teammates Robin Lopez (hand) and LaMarcus Aldridge (illness) both likely out Sunday, Kaman will have significant fantasy value for that game, and any additional games that Aldridge misses due to his illness.

Kaman will miss Friday's game against the Sixers due to a family issue. Kaman will join both LaMarcus Aldridge and Robin Lopez as inactives for the Trail Blazers Friday, leaving the team's frontcourt shorthanded. It's unclear exactly why Kaman will skip Friday's contest, but he hasn't been ruled out for Sunday against the Knicks.

Kaman came off the bench for Friday's game against the Spurs and was able to contribute six points, five rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 18 minutes of action. Kaman is actually averaging 18.9 minutes on the season and it appears that he won't be given more time on the court with the absence of Robin Lopez (hand). Fellow center Joel Freeland has been inserted into the starting lineup with Thomas Robinson especially seeing the added minutes from the loss of Lopez.

Kaman scored 11 points and added three rebounds in 20 minutes of action Monday against the Spurs. Kaman could see more run with Robin Lopez (hand) expected to miss one month. He'll have the opportunity to play big minutes and has the potential to score, grab boards, and block shots even in 25-plus minutes. He's worth owning in 12-man leagues while Lopez is out.

Kaman scored 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 FT) with 10 rebounds and a steal in 21 minutes off the bench Monday. If something were to happen to Robin Lopez, Kaman would become an immediate add, but even in his reduced role the center is proving to have some value in deeper leagues.

Kaman was, once again, a solid source of rebounds off the bench, pulling down seven to go with eight points (4-5 FG) in 18 minutes. Kaman is averaging just 20 minutes a night this season backing up Robin Lopez, but has still managed to pull down 6.3 boards per night. If an injury befell Lopez, Kaman would become a must-add player across all formats as his 11.7 rebounds per 36 minutes would have value in every league. As it stands, Kaman is a guy to look at for streaming if you need a few rebounds to win a weekly head-to-head battle.
