Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Posts solid line in decisive win
Rotowire
Clingan contributed 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and four blocks across 28 minutes during Monday's 135-118 win over the 76ers.
Clingan enjoyed an efficient night against the Sixers, who had to manage without Joel Embiid (rest). Embiid's absence created an exploitable opportunity for Clingan, who was able to keep Andre Drummond under wraps. Clingan failed to hit the double-double milestone after reaching it three consecutive times, but the second-year pro has several to his credit. He currently ranks 13th in the league with 20 double-doubles.

Rotowire
Clingan ended with nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 28 minutes during Monday's 102-94 loss to the Celtics.
Clingan fell one point shy of compiling a second consecutive double-double, as he wasn't able to capitalize on his opportunities on the offensive end. The big man was a menace at the rim, managing to record his first multi-block game since Jan. 11.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Grabs 16 boards in loss
Rotowire
Clingan logged 13 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt), 16 rebounds, two assists and three steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 110-98 loss to the Raptors.
Clingan recorded his fourth double-double in the past five games, continuing to deliver elite rebounding numbers on a regular basis. While the production has certainly been adequate, his lack of blocks is something that can't be overlooked. In his past six games, Clingan has tallied two total blocks, less than adequate for a player whose value is built around defensive contributions. Look for him to try and get back on track against the Celtics on Monday.

Rotowire
Clingan totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 win over the Rockets.
Although the Rockets were vulnerable under the basket without Alperen Sengun's (ankle) services, Clingan was unable to take advantage. Fortunately for the Trail Blazers, Deni Avdija was able to pick up most of the slack with a career-high performance, and the team prevailed despite less potency from their young center. Clingan snapped a three-game double-double streak, but he'll try to renew another run in a Friday rematch against the Rockets.

Clingan kept pace with Jalen Duren for most of the contest, but he was unable to contain the Detroit big man in the closing minutes.

Trail Blazers' Donovan Clingan: Extends range behind the arc
Rotowire
Clingan finished with 19 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-13 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Thursday's 134-133 overtime win over the Kings.
Clingan was impressive overall against Sacramento. The Connecticut product is known for hitting the glass and protecting the rim, which he did Thursday to the tune of eight boards and two blocks. He also sank a pair of three-pointers, which is huge for Portland's offense. If Clingan can draw rim protectors to the arc, it will open more space for his teammates to drive.
