Portland has ruled out Avdija due to lower back soreness that caused him to exit Sunday’s game during the fourth quarter.
With Avdija sidelined, Jrue Holiday and Caleb Love could both be in line for larger roles while the Trail Blazers will likely rely on Sharpe to carry the load offensively.
The Trail Blazers have also ruled out Scoot Henderson, Damian Lillard, Matisse Thybulle, Kris Murray and Blake Wesley as they all continue to be sidelined while recovering from injuries.

Grant has been listed as doubtful due to left Achilles tendonitis and he is expected to be sidelined once again, though it appears he may be nearing a return from injury.
Warriors Injury Report
On the other side, the Warriors have only one player listed on their injury report as they have ruled out veteran guard Seth Curry.

Golden State has ruled out Curry due to sciatic nerve irritation that has caused him to be sidelined since early December.
Outside of Curry, the rest of the Warriors’ roster is healthy entering Tuesday’s game and they will look to use that to their advantage against a banged-up Trail Blazers squad.
