Scoot Henderson - Remaining out vs. LAL Henderson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Henderson has yet to make his season debut while he recovers from a torn left hamstring he sustained in September, though he's expected to be re-evaluated soon. The 21-year-old point guard should be considered doubtful for future contests until the Trail Blazers provide an update on his progress.

Matisse Thybulle - Without a timetable Thybulle (knee, thumb) won't play Saturday versus the Lakers and remains without a timetable to return.

Impact Thybulle, who is recovering from thumb surgery, is also dealing with knee tendinitis and he continues to get ruled out a day in advance of tipoff. Until the Trail Blazers update us on Thybulle's recovery, he should be considered out indefinitely.

Jerami Grant - Questionable for Saturday Grant (Achilles) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Grant returned to action Thursday after missing 14 games with left Achilles tendonitis and contributed 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two blocks in 23 minutes. As part of managing his recovery, he carries a questionable tag for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers. If Grant is sidelined, the Trail Blazers could lean more heavily on Sidy Cissoko with additional opportunities for Rayan Rupert and Duop Reath.

Jrue Holiday - Iffy for Saturday Holiday (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Holiday may miss the front end of Portland's back-to-back set due to right calf injury management. The veteran guard has appeared in just three outings following a 27-game absence due to a right calf strain, so it appears likely he'll be held out of at least one half of this back-to-back. If Holiday is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Love and Rayan Rupert would be candidates for increased playing time.

Deni Avdija - Doubtful for Saturday Avdija (back) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Avdija is set to sit out his third straight game Saturday, which should result in more minutes for Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love. Jerami Grant and Shaedon Sharpe could see an uptick in usage with Avdija unavailable.

Shaedon Sharpe - Season-high nine boards in win Sharpe amassed 24 points (8-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 win over the Hawks.

Impact Sharpe scored at least 19 points for a sixth straight game, shooting 49.5 percent from the field during that stretch. He also grabbed a season-high nine rebounds and recorded multiple steals for the third time during his current six-game hot streak. Portland got Jerami Grant (Achilles) back in action during Thursday's game, but Deni Avdija (back) was sidelined. When Grant and Avdija are in action, Sharpe may see slightly fewer shot attempts per game.

Jerami Grant - Lives at free-throw line in return Grant (Achilles) tallied 16 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes Thursday in the Trail Blazers' 117-101 win over the Hawks...

Impact Back in action after missing Portland's previous 14 games due to left Achilles tendinitis, Grant was deployed off the bench Thursday, likely as a means for the Trail Blazers to better manage his workload following the extended absence. Grant still finished second on the team in scoring to only Shaedon Sharpe (24 points), with the 31-year-old getting nearly half of his points at the charity stripe. Though he may end up sitting out one game of the Trail Blazers' upcoming Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set versus the Lakers and Kings, respectively, Grant should be in line for at least a slight uptick in playing time in his next appearance.

Sidy Cissoko - Logs 22 minutes in start Cissoko ended with six points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 win over Atlanta.

Impact Cissoko remained with the starters despite the return of Jerami Grant, as Deni Avdija (back) missed his second straight contest. Cissoko's fantasy appeal is limited to very deep leagues for the moment, as he's averaging 6.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 22.7 minutes over his last eight outings.

13 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Donovan Clingan - Pulls down 12 rebounds Clingan ended with nine points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 victory over Atlanta.

Impact For the 23rd time this campaign, Clingan recorded double-digit rebounds for Portland. The second-year center is in the midst of a solid campaign, as he's on pace for seventh-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 10.9 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks.

Toumani Camara - Posts 11 points in win Camara registered 11 points (5-15 FG, 1-9 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 38 minutes during Thursday's 117-101 victory over the Hawks.

Impact This was another mild effort from Camara despite a considerable workload. His per-minute production has been lacking this season, as he's on pace to finish outside the top-150 in nine-category formats even though he's seeing 33.9 minutes per contest.

Impact Hansen made one appearance for the Remix while on assignment for the last couple of days, leading the team with 22 points, which also represented his best total of the season. The rookie is expected to come off the bench for the NBA club, where he'll now look to improve on his averages of 2.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per contest.
