Inactive for Monday's win Love was a healthy inactive Monday in the Trail Blazers' 135-118 win over the 76ers.

Impact After churning out 17 points and eight assists in 27 minutes off the bench in Portland's 122-115 win over Memphis on Saturday, Love returned to the inactive list for the second time in three contests with the Trail Blazers getting Deni Avdija (back) and Scoot Henderson (hamstring) back in action Monday. The recent returns of Henderson and Blake Wesley from extended absences as well as the arrival of trade-deadline pickup Vit Krejci looks like it could result in Love being outside of the rotation more often than not moving forward. A two-way player, Love has been active for 44 games this season, so he can suit up for just six more contests before Portland would need to convert him to a standard contract in order for him to be eligible to play thereafter.

Exits rotation Friday Love (coach's decision) was a healthy inactive Friday in the Trail Blazers' 135-115 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Though Love has exceeded expectations as a two-way player, efficiency has been an issue for the rookie guard, who has converted on just 39.1 percent of his field-goal attempts and 32.1 percent of his three-point tries this season. With Portland getting healthier in the backcourt following the recent returns of Blake Wesley and Scoot Henderson from long-term injuries, Love looks like he could find himself outside of the rotation more often than not. Since Love has already been active for 43 of his allotted 50 games as a two-way player, Portland likely elected to keep him inactive Friday to preserve his eligibility. However, Love should have a good chance at suiting up in the second leg of the back-to-back set Saturday versus the Grizzlies, as Shaedon Sharpe (calf) is unlikely to play after exiting Friday's game early, and Wesley and Henderson are both candidates to sit out for maintenance purposes.

Blazers next move after trade deadline is painfully obvious The Portland Trail Blazers must now convert Caleb Love and Sidy Cissoko to standard contracts.

Blazers can make their biggest trade deadline move without adding another player Portland needs to prioritize retaining two crucial in-house contributors, Caleb Love and Sidy Cissoko.

Scores team-high 21 points Love closed with 21 points (8-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 30 minutes during Sunday's 130-111 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact The Trail Blazers began the game with an adjusted lineup due to absences from Jrue Holiday (personal) and Deni Avdija (back), and the team didn't settle into a more traditional two-guard backcourt until Love came in with the second unit. Although the Caveliers won handily, Love's addition did stabilize the team somewhat, especially during the team's 63-point second half.

Adds 12 points Friday Love closed Friday's 127-97 loss to the Knicks with 12 points (5-15 FG, 2-10 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals across 27 minutes.

Impact Love had 12 points off the bench, scoring double digits for the fourth time in the past five games. Although Love has been somewhat of a surprise thus far, his overall appeal remains limited. In 16 appearances over the past month, he has averaged 14.3 points and 2.6 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes per game. However, with very little to speak of in the way of peripherals, his rank during that time is outside the top 200, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration for anyone needing threes.

Blazers might have just stumbled upon their next best-kept secret Trail Blazers two-way signing Caleb Love went from being an undrafted guard to making a significant impact in Portland.

Strong effort off bench Love finished Thursday's 127-110 victory over the Heat with 20 points (8-19 FG, 4-12 3Pt), four rebounds and four assists across 33 minutes.

Impact Love struggled at times to find the bottom of the net, but his shot volume helped him secure a 20-point night. He's been a valuable scoring asset off the bench in January, as he's reached the 20-point threshold four times in 11 games and is averaging 16.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 28.5 minutes per game during this span.

Sizzles with 22 points off bench Love recorded 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, seven assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 132-116 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Love's success was directly tied to Jrue Holiday's minute restriction, as the veteran was held to just 20 minutes on the floor in the blowout win. Love had his best assist result of the season against the Lakers, and he also matched his third-best scoring total of the season with 22 points.

Coming off bench Thursday Love is not in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup against the Hawks on Thursday.

Impact Love made his first NBA start Tuesday against the Warriors, finishing with 17 points, seven assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block over 34 minutes, though he connected on just five of 16 field-goal attempts. The undrafted rookie will revert to a bench role Thursday while veteran Jrue Holiday enters the starting five for Portland.

Fills in with 17 points Love finished Tuesday's 119-97 loss to Golden State with 17 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes.

Impact Love was a decent fill-in for Deni Avdija (back), but the Trail Blazers needed Avdija's firepower in the blowout loss. The team is happy to see Jrue Holiday back in action, but the team is a shell of itself without Avdija's contributions. Love did all he could, but the rookie had to fill big shoes during the loss. Love will revert to the bench once Avidja is cleared to return.

Making first NBA start Tuesday Love is in the Trail Blazers' starting lineup against the Warriors on Tuesday.

Impact Love has stepped into a more prominent role off the bench as of late, scoring in double digits in each of his last 11 outings and averaging 16.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.6 threes over 29.0 minutes per game. With Deni Avdija sidelined due to a back issue, Love -- an undrafted rookie out of Arizona -- will make the first start of his NBA career Tuesday in Golden State.

Scores 21 off bench Love had 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-12 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-114 loss to the Knicks.

Impact Love sparked the offense off the bench Sunday, though his efforts weren't enough to push the Trail Blazers to a victory. The rookie has carved out a meaningful offensive role of late, scoring in double figures in 11 straight games. While his efficiency across 32 appearances this season has been uneven -- mirroring some of the volatility from his college career -- Love has shown he can generate points at the NBA level.
