Nance (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Cleveland, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance was forced out of Wednesday's game against the Heat due to a knee injury and that injury will keep him out Friday as well. Robert Covington and Nassir Little figure to see more opportunities in his absence.

Nance (COVID-19 protocols) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Nance is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Heat due to health and safety protocols, Jason Quick of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Nance has yet to miss a game this season, but that streak will presumably end Wednesday. He's started the past 10 games with averages of 8.6 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals. Assuming he's out, Robert Covington will likely slide into the starting five.

Nance ended with 14 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 120-105 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Nance made his eighth straight start, lining up at center with Jusuf Nurkic in COVID-19 protocols. The 6-foot-7 Nance held his own in the role, leading all Portland players with nine rebounds. He also led the team in assists (nine) and steals (three) to round out a fantastic final stat line. Nance's production has been frustrating from a fantasy perspective this season, but his stock could be on the rise with the move into the starting lineup. He isn't likely to evolve into a high-output scorer, so his value is tied to his ability to contribute across multiple categories.

Nance and the Trail Blazers won't play the Nets on Thursday after the NBA postponed the game due to Brooklyn not having the league-required eight available players for that contest.
EDGE Analysis
As a result of the postponement, fantasy managers in weekly leagues will get just one game out of Nance, who supplied 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four steals and two assists in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Pelicans. Nance and the Trail Blazers will return to action Monday against the Mavericks.

Nance accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 11 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 29 minutes during Sunday's 105-100 victory over Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Nance continues to run with the starting unit, turning in another serviceable performance. Since being promoted, Nance has been able to slowly increase his productivity, giving us reason to add him in most 12-team leagues. He is yet to fully embrace the new role but if you need some boards and defensive numbers, Nance could be the solution to your problems.
