Thybulle produced five points (2-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Friday's 120-119 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle has been held to single figures in the scoring column over his last five contests, but he continues to contribute on the defensive end. He's tallied a steal in 14 straight games and recorded a block Friday night, marking his sixth of March through six appearances. Thybulle's production in the scoring column won't raise any eyebrows, but his defensive stats make him worth considering in deeper leagues.

Thybulle racked up 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, four blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle put forth a great defensive effort Wednesday, tying Damian Lillard for the team lead in rebounds with eight while also posting a game and season-high four blocks, all of which came in the first half. The shooting added 12 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the floor to go along with a season-high four assists as the Trail Blazers lost their second straight. Thybulle has now scored in double figures in back-to-back games, going 7-of-10 from three over that brief stretch.

Thybulle posted 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-6 3Pt), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 123-105 loss to the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle was lights out from deep en route to his highest-scoring outing since joining the Trail Blazers. The defensive-minded forward has started all five contests with his new squad and is averaging 8.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks in 28.8 minutes while shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 54.5 percent from deep. Thybulle's three-point shot has been a revelation in Portland, but fantasy managers should brace for regression at some point. Either way, the fourth-year pro's sizable role and defensive production make him a quality streaming option in category leagues.

Thybulle registered eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 131-114 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle has started all four games since being traded to Portland and is averaging 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 29.8 minutes per game. During that stretch, he's shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 43.8 percent from deep. This is all very positive for the fourth-year forward, who saw his role dramatically dip in Philadelphia before being traded, but what puts Thybulle on fantasy radars is his strong production in the defensive categories. OG Anunoby currently leads the league with 2.0 steals per game, so if Thybulle can continue at his current pace, he may be one of the best streaming options for steals in category leagues during the fantasy playoffs.

Thybulle provided two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four steals, one rebound and one assist in 30 minutes in Tuesday's 126-101 loss to the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Predictably, Thybulle's output on the offensive end took a step back in the second leg of the back-to-back set after he erupted for 14 points on 4-for-6 shooting from three-point range in his Trail Blazers debut Monday against the Lakers. Fantasy managers should take whatever they get from Thybulle in the scoring column as a bonus moving forward, but as long as he can hold down a 25-plus-minute role, he'll have some appeal as a specialist in the two defensive categories. On a per-36-minute basis, Thybulle has averaged 2.7 steals and 1.5 blocks for his career.

Thybulle ended with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 127-115 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle played his first game for Portland since the team acquired him in a trade last week, and he got a starting assignment with Jerami Grant out with a concussion. While Thybulle's bread and butter is undoubtedly his defense, the former 76er unexpectedly showed off his shooting touch, drilling a campaign-high four three-pointers and finishing with double-digit points for just the fourth time this season. The fourth-year pro didn't let down on defense either, swatting three shots and notching one theft. Thybulle isn't likely to put up these type of offensive numbers on a frequent basis, as he's yet to average more than 5.7 points per game in any professional campaign.

Thybulle is starting in his Portland debut Monday night against the Lakers, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle is set to make his first appearance as a Trail Blazer, and it'll be in a starting role due to the absence of Jerami Grant (concussion). The Washington product averaged 3.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals in his last 10 contests with Philadelphia.

Thybulle (recently traded) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle was acquired by Portland ahead of the trade deadline, but he was unable to make his Blazers debut Friday against Oklahoma City. However, he's been left off the injury report ahead of Monday's contest, so it appears like he'll suit up and be available against Los Angeles, though it's unclear if he'll have a role in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation.

Thybulle will not play against the Thunder on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Blazers acquired Thybulle at the deadline and he does have a big opportunity to pick up some of the minutes left by Josh Hart who is now in New York. Fantasy managers in need of steals and blocks will want to keep a close eye on him going forward.

The Trail Blazers acquired Thybulle from the 76ers on Thursday in a three-team deal that sent Jalen McDaniels to Philadelphia and Svi Mykhailiuk to the Hornets, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The 76ers also received 2024 and 2029 second-round picks in the deal while the Hornets received 2023 and 2027 second-round picks.
EDGE Analysis
Thybulle has spent the first four seasons of his career in Philadelphia but struggled to find much playing time early in the 2022-23 campaign, averaging a career-low 12.1 minutes over 49 appearances. However, the 25-year-old should have a chance to compete with Cam Reddish for minutes in Portland after the Trail Blazers traded incumbent starting small forward Josh Hart to the Knicks on Wednesday. When given extended run, Thybulle has shown the ability to put up defensive statistics at an elite clip, but he has little offensive game to fall back on.
