Watch. Chris Youngblood sees a few more minutes when Shaedon Sharpe is out, but the numbers barely move.
Sharpe is out with an injury the team says likely keeps him sidelined until after the All-Star break, with a return date listed as 2027-03-01. That opens up wing minutes in Portland behind Toumani Camara, with Vit Krejci and Jeremy Sochan also competing for time.
Over 30 games without Sharpe, Youngblood has averaged 4.68 FPG on 6.0 minutes, barely above the 0.6 FPG on 3.5 minutes he puts up with Sharpe active. Thirty games is a real sample, but the swing itself is minor.
He sits at 4.4 FPG, ranked 467th under Zach's league scoring, and is only 6% rostered. He's available basically everywhere, but there's little here worth grabbing off waivers.
For props, there isn't a real signal to bet. His counting stats stay too low for points, rebounds, or assists markets to move meaningfully either way.
