Shabazz Napier (upper respiratory) probable to play Saturday for Portland
Portland Trail Blazers point guard Shabazz Napier is considered probable for Saturday's game, reports Jason Quick of NBC Sports.
Napier left Friday's practice early while dealing with an upper respiratory issue. There will definitely be an official update tomorrow, but it looks like he'll play. Despite being labeled a backup point guard, Napier has become a key part of the Trail Blazers' rotation, spending time next to Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum in three-guard lineups.
Against the Dallas Mavericks, Napier is projected for 18.7 FanDuel points and 21.3 minutes in Saturday's home game.
