Eubanks (chest) is available for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks has started the last seven games, and he'll be available once again Thursday. Across his last seven outings, he's averaged 10.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 27.7 minutes per game, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him remain in the starting lineup since Jusuf Nurkic (knee) is out once again.

Eubanks is probable for Thursday's game against the Spurs due to left thoracic spasms.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks is dealing with some discomfort in his chest, but it sounds like he'll power through it and get out there for Thursday's game against his former team. If you need a low-end source of blocks and boards, Eubanks could be worth a look.

Eubanks logged 18 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 138-114 loss to Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks scored a season-high 18 points and grabbed at least 10 rebounds for a third time over his past four appearances en route to his third double-double of the campaign. Across his past five appearances, he's averaged 10.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.2 blocks and 1.2 steals in 26.8 minutes. As long as Jusuf Nurkic (knee) remains out, Eubanks should have ample opportunities to produce strong numbers over Portland's final five regular-season games.

Eubanks finished with five points (2-12 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 25 minutes in Wednesday's 120-80 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
There wasn't much positive to take away from a night the Trail Blazers mustered just 80 points and lost by 40, but Eubanks at least came through for fantasy managers who streamed him for blocks and rebounds. He's typically been a strong source of field-goal percentage on the occasions he's started this season, but Eubanks deviated from that trend in a major way Wednesday. Though the 2-for-12 showing from the field was tough to stomach, fantasy managers should view it as a major outlier and continue to roll with Eubanks in lineups with the likelihood that top center Jusuf Nurkic (knee) has been shut down for the season.

Eubanks produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, six blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-112 loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks didn't turn any heads with his performance in the scoring column, but he managed to tie his season high with six blocks. He also made an impact by snagging double-digit rebounds, his first time doing so since Feb. 14. Eubanks could be a viable streaming option for fantasy managers in need of rebounds and defensive stats, especially with Jusuf Nurkic (knee) and Trendon Watford (ankle) struggling to return to health.

Eubanks finished Friday's 124-96 loss to the Bulls with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 25 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks moved back into the starting lineup, filling in for Jusuf Nurkic (right knee soreness), who was a late scratch. It appears as though the Trail Blazers have given up the goat this season, meaning Eubanks could be a sneaky pickup down the stretch. While there is no confirmation of this, all signs are pointing to them leaning heavily on their fringe players ROS.

Eubanks will start versus Chicago on Friday, per Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Jusuf Nurkic (right knee soreness) is being held out and could miss more time with the Blazers seemingly giving up on their playoff hopes. As a starter this season, Eubanks averages 7.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists.

Eubanks totaled 10 points (5-8 FG), eight rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 117-102 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
With Jusuf Nurkic healthy again, Eubanks' role has diminished, but he did post his most points, rebounds and assists Sunday since moving back to a reserve role. Across 49 games off the bench this season, Eubanks has averaged just 5.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.0 assists in 17.7 minutes.

Eubanks isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Jusuf Nurkic will replace Eubanks in the starting lineup Thursday after missing the previous 14 games with a calf injury. Eubanks is averaging 5.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in 17.7 minutes across his 43 appearances coming off the bench this season.

Eubanks finished with nine points (2-2 FG, 5-10 FT), eight rebounds, two blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 131-114 victory over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Eubanks drew a ninth straight start in place of Jusuf Nurkic (calf). While he's scored in double figures only twice during that stretch, the undrafted big man out of Oregon State is still putting up solid numbers and is averaging 7.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 blocks while shooting 56.3 percent from the field. He's certainly not producing at an All-Star level, but his rebounding, defensive production and above-average field-goal percentage makes him a solid streaming option while Nurkic remains sidelined.
