Impact Grant hasn't played since Dec. 18, and it's not a great sign that he continues to get ruled out 24 hours in advance of tipoff. The Trail Blazers haven't offered any updates on where Grant is in the rehab process, so for now, Grant should be considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Knicks. Kris Murray and Caleb Love will continue to pick up the slack in Grant's absence.

Rockets vs. Trail Blazers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Jan. 9

Donovan Clingan - Regresses in narrow win Clingan totaled 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 103-102 win over the Rockets.

Impact Although the Rockets were vulnerable under the basket without Alperen Sengun's (ankle) services, Clingan was unable to take advantage. Fortunately for the Trail Blazers, Deni Avdija was able to pick up most of the slack with a career-high performance, and the team prevailed despite less potency from their young center. Clingan snapped a three-game double-double streak, but he'll try to renew another run in a Friday rematch against the Rockets.

Toumani Camara - Fouls out after 14-point game Camara fouled out of Wednesday's 103-102 win over Houston after recording 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals across 39 min...

Impact Camara fouled out late in the game, but he saw plenty of action with 39 minutes on the court. Camara was a great asset on defense, helping to keep Tari Eason and Jabari Smith in check while the team sought a solution to Cidy Cissoko's ineffectiveness in his starting role.

Shaedon Sharpe - Logs 20 points in narrow win Sharpe finished Wednesday's 103-102 win over the Rockets with 20 points (7-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Impact Although Sharpe was held without a rebound Wednesday night, the veteran shot reasonably well and came away with a solid scoring total. Although he regressed slightly from the blowout win against Utah, the playmaker is still trending in the right direction with two consecutive 20-plus point performances.
