Sees 16 minutes in win Murray registered three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and four rebounds over 16 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 victory over Indiana.

Impact Murray returned from a two-game absence Sunday after battling an illness. The Trail Blazers are getting healthier, and Murray may be a fringe rotation player most nights.

Scores season-high 28 points Henderson closed Sunday's 131-111 victory over the Pacers with 28 points (10-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes.

Impact Henderson was one of the main reasons why the Blazers secured a comfortable 20-point blowout win Sunday. The electric floor general didn't start after being part of the first unit in the past two contests, but he responded with his best game of the season thus far. Henderson made his debut Feb. 6 but has been very consistent, scoring in double digits in 10 of his 13 appearances. He's averaging 12.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, so he should carry some fantasy appeal as long as he stays healthy and regardless of his role.

Extends impressive streak Grant supplied 21 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 5-7 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 32 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 win over the Pacers.

Impact Grant reached the 20-point mark for a third straight game, and he's achieved that mark in all but one of his last eight appearances -- the lone exception was his four-point dud in a blowout loss to the Hawks on March 1. The veteran forward has alternated between the starting lineup and the bench, but he's been a regular in the first unit since the beginning of February. Grant is averaging 19.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game while making 42.9 percent of his treys since the All-Star break.

Shows some rust in return Avdija amassed 18 points (6-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and three blocks in 25 minutes during Sunday's 131-111 win over the Pacers.

Impact Avdija didn't have his best shooting performance in his return from a seven-game absence, missing his four shots from deep and 10 of his 16 field goals overall. Having Avdija on the court should be considered a win for the Trail Blazers, though, as he's made just three appearances since the All-Star break. Avdija is averaging just 14.0 points while shooting 39.3 percent from the floor since the beginning of February, so his numbers have been trending in the wrong direction, with the recurrent back problems clearly being a factor in that regard.
