Boozer records first career triple-double

Key Points:

• Cameron Boozer recorded his first triple-double in just five games with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists, helping the Memphis Grizzlies to a 124-103 win over the Trail Blazers and improving the team's record to 5-0.
• Despite a shaky shooting start to the season, Boozer's efficiency improved in this game, and his all-around contributions in rebounds, assists, and free throws highlight his potential as a top fantasy basketball player.
• Memphis has rebuilt its frontcourt around Boozer, the third overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, following trades of Jaren Jackson Jr. and Ja Morant, positioning Boozer as the franchise's new cornerstone with strong fantasy upside.
• On the Trail Blazers' side, Donovan Clingan set a season high with five blocks but remains limited by inconsistent minutes, while Deni Avdija led the team with 24 points and near double-digit rebounds and assists despite the loss.
• Injuries impacted Portland's lineup, with Ja Morant exiting due to a hamstring issue and Quinten Post doubtful with an ankle injury, while Memphis' Isaiah Stewart stepped up off the bench with 18 points in Post's absence.
