Harkless managed just two points, three rebounds, one steal, and one block in 21 minutes during Thursday's 129-121 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless had been a hot pickup across many formats leading into Thursday's game, his value buoyed by his recent production. However, he was a disappointment here, finishing with just two points in 21 minutes. Head coach Terry Stotts went with Rodney Hood down the stretch and the playing time is likely a result of the matchup and Hood having the hot hand. Harkless is worth holding onto if you can but with a poor schedule over the next week, dropping him is not the worst idea.

Harkless scored a season-high 20 points (9-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 120-111 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran wing has been a fairly steady contributor over the last few weeks, scoring in double digits in six of the last eight games while averaging 12.4 points, 6.8 boards, 2.4 assists and 1.9 steals. Harkless has never been able to maintain that kind of pace over a full season, however, so what fantasy value he carries right now could evaporate quickly. Be wary of him as anything more than a bargain DFS option.

Harkless finished with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 27 minutes in the Trail Blazers' loss to the Raptors on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless made contributions across the stat sheet in Friday's loss. While he won't be an elite fantasy option this season, his recent play warrants a dart-throw in daily contests as a cheap play with upside.

Harkless totaled 17 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three steals across 37 minutes in the Trail Blazers' win over the Celtics on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless had another well-rounded performance on Wednesday. In six games prior to Wednesday's, Harkless averaged 11.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 25.7 minutes. He's been a player best reserved for deep leagues, but if his recent productive streak continues, he'll be worth an add across all formats.

Harkless supplied 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocks in 22 minutes Saturday against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless made his presence known across the board on Saturday, leading the Trail Blazers in both steals and blocks. He's now scored in double-digits in three-straight contests and has knocked down a three pointer in each of his last four games. At this points, however, Harkless doesn't contribute enough on a consistent basis to be relevant in standard formats.

Harkless produced three points, three rebounds, two steals, and one assist in 20 minutes during Monday's 120-111 loss to the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless continues to start for the Trail Blazers but is struggling to play meaningful minutes. The emergence of Jake Layman, as well as the addition of Rodney Hood, appear to have stifled what value Harkless had been building. At this stage, he can safely be left on the waivers in most formats.

Harkless contributed two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist in 15 minutes Thursday in the Trail Blazers' 127-118 win over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless is finally over the knee issue that sidelined him for half of January, but he hasn't quite reclaimed as sizable of a role as he enjoyed prior to the injury. While suiting up for the last eight games, Harkless is shooting an excellent 53.8 percent from the field, but he's topped just 25 minutes on one occasion. The red-hot Jake Layman has instead been cutting into Harkless' playing time, and things don't figure to improve for Harkless with the Blazers adding Rodney Hood (25 minutes in team debut) prior to the trade deadline.

Harkless produced 16 points (7-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one steal, and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 victory over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless dropped a season-high 16 points in Saturday's victory, his best game since making his return from an ongoing knee injury. The 31 minutes are a good indication that he is feeling more confident and should he continue to see sufficient playing time, he could well move back into the standard league discussion.

Harkless (knee) is available Friday against the Pelicans, Joe Freeman of The Oregonian reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless is set to make his return after missing six of the last seven games due to a knee injury. It's unclear whether the Trail Blazers will hold him to a minutes limit based on his lengthy absence.

Harkless (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans, Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

Harkless continues to miss time due to left knee soreness, which has been a nagging issue for him all season. If he ends up sidelined Friday, it would mark his sixth straight absence.
