Thybulle registered 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), two rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 20 minutes during Sunday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
This was Thybulle's best scoring mark of the season despite the low minutes. Thybulle's appeal in fantasy basketball is largely due to his defensive abilities, but his steal rate has been much lower than in previous years so far.

Thybulle finished Wednesday's 121-118 overtime loss to Sacramento with 13 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist and four steals across 34 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle saw a considerable uptick in minutes Wednesday with the Trail Blazers dealing with multiple absences. The 26-year-old responded with his first double-digit scoring total of the season while also leading the team in steals. While Thybulle has served exclusively as a starter this year, he hasn't been consistent enough to be reliable in season-long formats at this point.

Thybulle ended with zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 victory over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle was held scoreless for the second time in five games this season, and he's now shooting just 38.9 percent from the field. So far in 2023-24, Thybulle's 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks per game have not been enough to compensate for his shooting woes.

Thybulle will start Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Thybulle was expected to start at small forward to open the season, his place in the first unit had yet to be confirmed. While Thybulle doesn't possess much offensive utility, he's an elite source of steals and blocks, making him a valuable asset in category formats.

Thybulle will likely be part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Clippers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle was somewhat inconsistent for the Trail Blazers during preseason play, but coach Chauncey Billups said Monday that he's "pretty set" on starting Thybulle over Shaedon Sharpe once the regular season begins Wednesday. Thybulle started in all 22 of his appearances with Portland last year and averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.

Thybulle won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Suns due to rest purposes, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle is set for a night off as Portland hopes to get a look at the squad's young talent in the preseason finale. He put together a rough shooting performance in Saturday's exhibition against the Jazz, hitting 1-for-5 from the field and missing all four attempts from beyond the arc.

Thybulle is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle will get the nod at small forward, and he is expected to fight for rotation minutes in the final games of the preseason. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in 27.7 minutes across 22 games for the Trail Blazers in 2022-23.

EDGE Analysis
Thybulle got the start against the New Zealand Breakers the last time out, but he will head to the bench here while Shaedon Sharpe moves into the first unit. Thybulle had eight points, a steal and a block against the Breakers.

The Trail Blazers matched Thybulle's three-year, $33 million offer from the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle was a restricted free agent, so Portland was able to retain the 26-year-old forward despite Dallas' offer. He averaged 7.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 assists in 27.7 minutes across 22 games for the Trail Blazers in 2022-23. Thybulle will likely be a part of the team's young core for their rebuild if Damian Lillard is traded, as expected.

Thybulle intends to sign a three-year, $33 million offer sheet with the Mavericks, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Trail Blazers extended a qualifying offer to Thybulle last week, so Portland will have an opportunity to match the Mavericks' offer sheet. The 26-year-old appeared in 71 games between the 76ers and Trail Blazers last year and averaged 4.1 points and 2.0 rebounds in 16.9 minutes per game.
