DeMar DeRozan, Russell Westbrook, and Malik Monk will sit out Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers due to various reasons, leaving notable gaps in the lineup. This has paved the way for younger players like Devin Carter, Nique Clifford, and Daeqwon Plowden to step up. Carter, in particular, shined with a 29-point performance against the Warriors last Friday, and he’ll look to replicate that success as he continues to gain more opportunities on the court.
