Cissoko closed with 19 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 124-95 loss to the Thunder.
Making his second straight start with both Jerami Grant (Achilles) and Matisse Thybulle (thumb) still missing from the Portland frontcourt, Cissoko led the team in scoring while setting a new career high in made three-pointers in a game. The third-year forward is seeing a consistent role in an NBA rotation for the first time, and through 14 contests (six starts) in December, he averaged 7.5 points, 2.4 boards, 1.6 assists, 1.4 threes and 1.0 combined steals and blocks in 23.9 minutes per game.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Drawing start Monday
Rotowire
Cissoko will start Monday's game against the Mavericks.
Cissoko is in line for his first start since Dec. 7 after Kris Murray (quadriceps) was ruled out for Monday's clash. Cissoko is averaging 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in his last 10 appearances as a starter.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Strong line off bench
Rotowire
Cissoko contributed 16 points (3-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Pistons.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Scores 20 in return to bench
Rotowire
Cissoko closed Thursday's 143-120 loss to the Pelicans with 20 points (8-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 32 minutes.
The Trail Blazers adjusted their starting lineup for this game, and Cissoko moved back to a bench role in favor of Shaedon Sharpe, who's been playing well since returning from injury. However, Cissoko responded by posting his best scoring output of the season. Cissoko has scored in double digits just three times in 2025-26, but he's worth a look in deeper formats as long as he's able to play around 25 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Shifting to bench
Rotowire
Cissoko will come off the bench Thursday night against New Orleans.
Cissoko will retreat to a bench role for the first time since Nov. 18 after making 10 straight starts for the Blazers. However, there may still be plenty of chances for Cissoko with Portland shorthanded in the frontcourt Thursday.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Quiet again in defeat
Rotowire
Cissoko racked up six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 119-96 loss to the Grizzlies.
Sunday was another pedestrian effort by Cissoko, who's been unable to turn heads since joining the starting lineup in November. The forward is averaging just 6.6 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 23.3 minutes per game across his last 10 contests, so fantasy managers can likely find more appealing streaming options on most waiver wires.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Muted output in loss
Rotowire
Cissoko contributed five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 loss to the Thunder.
Despite starting in his sixth consecutive game, Cissoko has turned in yet another relatively unproductive stat line. Cissoko is averaging 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks when he starts, but he will look to bounce back offensively Tuesday against the Raptors.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Logs 22 minutes in start
Rotowire
Cissoko supplied five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 122-121 loss to the Bulls.
Cissoko moved into the starting lineup due to absences to Jrue Holiday (calf) and Shaedon Sharpe (calf). However, it was Deni Avdija who shouldered the bulk of the responsibility, not the replacement guards. There is no reason to consider Cissoko a pickup in standard formats at this point.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Making first career start
Rotowire
Cissoko is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.
Cissoko will start for the first time in his three-year NBA career. The 21-year-old has logged double-digit minutes in six straight games, and he logged eight points, five assists and two steals across 28 minutes in his most recent outing.
Cissoko posted eight points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 loss to the Suns.
Cissoko was likely in for a longer period of time due to the blowout nature of the game, and he is not expected to see anywhere near 28 minutes consistently in the future unless injury or blowouts occur. In his last eight games, Cissoko is averaging 3.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.5 steals across 14.5 minutes.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Fares well off bench
Rotowire
Cissoko totaled five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 14 minutes during Monday's 123-115 loss to the Lakers.
With Blake Wesley suffering a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot, Cissoko is the next man up for Portland, at least while Scoot Henderson (hamstring) is out. Cissoko has just 36 career regular-season games under his belt, but he made a strong impression on the coaching staff Monday and could be worth monitoring in very deep formats.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Three swipes in SL loss
Rotowire
Cissoko racked up 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds, three assists, three steals and one block across 27 minutes during Saturday's 96-86 Summer League loss against the Grizzlies.
Cissoko got it done on both ends of the floor Saturday, as he was one of two players to crack the 18-point mark while also recording a game-high three steals. The 20-year-old guard played in five regular-season games for Portland during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 2.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 12 minutes per game.
Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Records season highs in win
Rotowire
Cissoko closed with seven points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Sunday's 109-81 victory over the Lakers.
Cissoko recorded season-high marks in points and minutes during the regular-season finale. The 21-year-old had a rollercoaster season, being traded twice before eventually being waived and signing a two-year, two-way contract with Portland. Cissoko appeared in 22 regular-season games between Portland and San Antonio this season, averaging 1.5 points, 1.0 rebounds and 0.7 assists across 5.2 minutes per contest.
Cissoko (ankle) finished with three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in 25 minutes Friday in the Trail Blazers' 103-86 loss to the Warriors. He also turned the ball over six times.
Cissoko has recently been managing a left ankle sprain that has kept him from playing at the NBA level and in the G League since March 15. Still, he was included in the rotation Friday on a night in which the Trail Blazers held out eight players due to injury. Portland will likely prioritize draft lottery positioning above all else in its season finale Sunday against the Lakers, so expect bottom-of-the-roster players like Cissoko to see healthy workloads once again. Based on his performance Friday, however, Cissoko is difficult to trust as a streaming option.

Trail Blazers' Sidy Cissoko: Available Sunday
Rotowire
Cissoko (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Cissoko hasn't played for the Trail Blazers since March 7, though he'll shake off a questionable tag Sunday due to a sprained left ankle. The two-way player isn't likely to carve out a significant role in the Portland rotation during the last four outings of the regular season.
