Eric Maynor will not receive a qualifying offer from the Blazers this offseason, which would make him a free agent. The drafting of C.J. McCollum makes him expendable and Maynor has lost a lot of the luster he had when playing in OKC. He'll need to show his knee is healthy and land in a good spot before fantasy owners should pay attention.

Trail Blazers GM Neil Olshey says he's finished his evaluation of point guard Eric Maynor but wouldn't commit to keeping him after this season. Maynor, who will be a restricted free agent this summer, came to Portland in a mid-season trade and has done a solid job as Damon Lillard's backup. Olshey says he's happy with what he's seen but noted that "certain variables" will affect Maynor's standing with the team in the offseason. If he remains in Portland, Maynor won't offer a ton of fantasy value barring injury, but he could be worth something if he landed with a team that gave him significant playing time.

Eric Maynor scored four points on 1-of-4 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds, four assists and one block in 17 minutes off the bench on Monday. If you took the gamble on Maynor in the Blazers' five-game week, you're going to have to eke it out like this and if all goes well you'll get a mild surge at some point.

Eric Maynor hit 3-of-8 shots and zero 3-pointers for eight points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 26 minutes of Tuesday's loss. Maynor had been feeling it, but he scored just seven points on Sunday before tonight's disappointing line. The minutes are there, but owners should limit expectations as long as he's coming off the bench, which should be for the rest of the season.

Eric Maynor scored 20 points off the bench on Friday, hitting 8-of-11 shots (including two threes) with six assists and two steals in 23 minutes. Maynor has made some mild noise lately and plays behind stalwarts Damian Lillard and Wesley Matthews, but the Blazers have nobody at all behind their starting five and it would make sense that somebody steps up with some level of productivity. The Blazers also have a five-game week not next week but the week after that, and that makes Maynor worth a look in many formats.

Eric Maynor scored 10 points on 5-of-8 shooting (no threes) with two rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Bobcats. Maynor had a career-high 12 assists on Saturday and if he can play even average basketball for his skill-set he should get consistent minutes like this on most nights. With the wing corps banged up, too, it's not a stretch to see him taking a larger role if those guys get hurt. Add it all up and there's not enough meat to the bone in standard leagues, but in a deeper format he'll be worth a look.

Terry Stotts said that he felt the Blazers "ran better" when Eric Maynor played alongside Damian Lillard on Saturday. Maynor had a career-high 12 assists in 31 minutes on Saturday, including 24 alongside Lillard, though as we noted the Blazers were playing a Raptors lineup that lends itself to smaller lineups. Portland's backup PG should only be a consideration in deep leagues.

The Blazers' bench came up huge on Saturday, led by Eric Maynor's seven points and career-high 12 assists. Maynor played 31 minutes, nearly 24 of which came alongside Damian Lillard (24 points, six rebounds, four assists). Portland has been seeking a spark off the bench all season, and tonight they also got strong games from Victor Claver (10 points in 14 minutes) and Meyers Leonard (12 points, eight rebounds in 21 minutes). Maynor had a grand total of two points in his previous two games, and he's only worth a look for deep-league owners craving assists.

In his season debut for the Trail Blazers, Eric Maynor had two points, one rebound and three assists in 15 minutes vs. the Celtics. Ronnie Price and Nolan Smith have been underwhelming in the backup PG role this season, and Maynor is a nice upgrade for Portland even though he fell out of favor in OKC. "It seems like he has a high basketball IQ," Terry Stotts said. "I think he'll have a quick learning curve." Deep league owners may perk up their ears at Maynor's new role in Portland, but he's not an asset in standard leagues.

Eric Maynor will be the backup point guard against the Celtics on Sunday. He's played just 40 minutes in the past 40 days, so the Blazers aren't likely to give him too much leash in his debut. It remains to be seen whether Maynor can return to his pre-ACL tear form, but he's shown that he was once capable of being a backup in the NBA. There's still no reason to pick him up with Damian Lillard leading all point guards in minutes per game this year.
