Logs 18 points in victory Sharpe supplied 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 win over the Thunder.

Impact Sharpe continues to play through a nagging calf injury, but he's yet to miss action with the team. Through eight games, Sharpe is averaging 18.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 steals, and although his point-per-game average is slightly lower compared to his 2024-25 campaign, the addition of Jrue Holiday has done wonders for the backcourt and boosted Portland's postseason chances.

Delivers 20 points from bench Grant ended Wednesday's 121-119 win over the Thunder with 20 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one block over 34 minutes.

Impact Grant overcame the negative correlation with Deni Avdija that sometimes plagues him, as both players made significant contributions during the stunning win. The Trail Blazers have a shot to be relevant this season, so they may put their youth-based rebuild on hold and keep Grant around. His bench production has been invaluable in the early stages of the season, and the eighth-year pro shows no sign of stopping.

Impact The Trail Blazers were humming on all cylinders during the surprise win, rallying from 22 points down to squeak out.a stunner. Holiday's 12 points in the second quarter played a key element in cutting the deficit, and he added 10 points in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. Holiday's veteran presence has been a boon to Portland's overall success, and he's currently posting three-year highs in a few different categories. Through eight games, he's averaging 17.4 points, 7.5 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals. His assist average currently places him 10th overall, ahead of dime-droppers like Ja Morant and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Undergoes surgery; out 8-12 weeks Wesley underwent a successful procedure to repair a fracture of the fifth metatarsal base in his right foot Wednesday, and he's expected to be sidelined for 8-12 weeks, Brett Siege...

Impact A fifth metatarsal fracture is a notoriously tough injury to recover from, and there's a high chance of experiencing a setback if brought back too soon, so it wouldn't be shocking to see his absence extend beyond this 12-week window. At minimum, he'll be out through the end of December, so he can safely remain on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.
