Deni Avdija - Drops 30 points in return Avdija finished Sunday's 117-110 win over the Kings with 30 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes.
Impact Avdija was given the green light to return Sunday from a three-game absence due to a lower-back strain. The injury didn't appear to bother the sixth-year pro, who led both teams in scoring while recording his 12th 30-point-plus performance of the season. Portland doesn't play its next game until Thursday against Miami, so Avdija will have additional time to recover ahead of that contest.

Robert Williams III - Downgraded to out Williams (knee) won't play Sunday against Sacramento, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Williams was added to the injury report earlier in the afternoon due to left knee injury management, and he's since been downgraded to out. This likely opens up some playing time for Yang Hansen behind Donovan Clingan.

Deni Avdija - Will play Sunday Avdija (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Avdija will shed his questionable tag and return from a three-game absence due to a lower back strain. Over six appearances so far this month, the 25-year-old forward has averaged 30.3 points, 7.0 assists, 6.7 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 36.5 minutes per tilt.
12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jrue Holiday - Not playing Sunday Holiday (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact As expected, Holiday will be sidelined for the second leg of the Trail Blazers' back-to-back set Sunday while working through a right calf injury, and his next chance to play is Thursday against the Heat. The Blazers will be reinforced with the return of Deni Avdija (back) from a three-game absence, and Caleb Love should also see an uptick in playing time in Holiday's absence.
12 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jerami Grant - Officially out Grant (Achilles) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact As anticipated, Grant will take a seat for Sunday's matchup after being added to the injury report as doubtful earlier in the day. Sidy Cissoko and Duop Reath should see an uptick in minutes with Grant sidelined.

Scoot Henderson - Remains out Sunday Henderson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Henderson is still recovering from a left hamstring tear he suffered in September, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. Until the Trail Blazers provide an update on his progress, the 21-year-old point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests.
15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Kris Murray - Not playing Sunday Murray (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Sacramento.
Impact Murray's absence will extend to seven games due to a lumbar strain. His next chance to play is Thursday against the Heat, though the third-year pro lacks a clear timeline for a return. Murray stepped into a more prominent role in the nine games (eight starts) prior to his injury and averaged 7.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals over 28.7 minutes per game over that span.
15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Robert Williams III - Unlikely to play Sunday Williams is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings due to left knee injury management.
Impact The Trail Blazers play the second leg of their back-to-back set Sunday, so Williams will likely be sidelined in order to manage a lingering left knee injury. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath should both see a bump in minutes Sunday, assuming Williams is sidelined.
15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jrue Holiday - Unlikely to play Sunday Holiday is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings due to right calf injury management.
Impact After posting nine points (4-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists and three rebounds across 20 minutes in Saturday's win over the Lakers, Holiday is unlikely to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. If the veteran point guard is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert would be candidates for increased playing time, especially if Deni Avdija (back) is downgraded from questionable to out.
15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Could return Sunday Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact Avdija has been sidelined for the Trail Blazers' last three games due to a lower back strain. He had previously been listed as doubtful for those games, so the fact he's now listed as questionable indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. Jrue Holiday (calf) is listed as doubtful, and if he and Avdija were to be sidelined for Sunday's contest, then Caleb Love would likely step into Portland's starting lineup.
15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE
Jerami Grant - Unlikely to go Sunday Grant is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings due to left Achilles injury management.
Impact Grant has played in two straight games for the Blazers after coming back from an Achilles injury, so it appears he's in line for a rest day. Expect confirmation from the team closer to tipoff.

Kings vs. Trail Blazers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Jan. 18
Jerami Grant - Logs 22 points in 22minutes Grant notched 22 points (6-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Saturday's 132-116 victory over the Lakers.
Impact Grant got an opportunity to stretch his legs and test his Achilles injury for the second consecutive game. His services came in handy, as the team logged another win despite Deni Avdija's (back) absence. Grant is unlikely to break into the starting lineup when Avdija returns, and he may end up on the sidelines Sunday due to the back-to-back scenario.
