Ibou Badji - Remains out Monday Badji (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Badji hasn't yet appeared in a game this season, and he'll be unable to suit up Monday due to his knee issue. His continued absence won't impact the Trail Blazers' rotation.

Jusuf Nurkic - Questionable against Atlanta Nurkic (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Nurkic sustained a calf injury Wednesday against the Jazz and was unavailable for Saturday's game against the Raptors. If he's sidelined once again, Trendon Watford and Drew Eubanks would likely continue to see increased run.

JANUARY 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Hart - Questionable to begin week Hart (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Hawks.

Impact Hart didn't play in Saturday's loss to the Raptors, but head coach Chauncey Billups said that the forward was able to participate in parts of practice Sunday. Expect the Trail Blazers to wait until closer to Monday's 10 p.m. ET opening tip to issue a definitive update on Hart's status.

Damian Lillard - Scoring slows down in loss Lillard posted 30 points (10-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 123-105 loss to Toronto.

Impact The 30-point effort on 50 percent shooting from the field and 88.8 percent shooting from the free-throw line actually amounts to an off night for Lillard, who has been as hot as any player thus far in January. Lillard was coming off a 60-point performance heading into Saturday and saw his scoring average for the month drop to 33.9 points per game after the 30-point outing. In addition to scoring at a prolific rate in January, Lilllard is supplementing his points production with averages of 7.7 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 3.9 triples and 1.1 steals.

Jerami Grant - Massive line in loss Grant ended with 26 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 41 minutes during Saturday's 123-105 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Grant's numbers had been trending down over the past week, but Saturday's well-rounded line offered some reassurance for his fantasy managers. Though his per-game averages in points, rebounds and assists thus far in January are all down from his season-long marks, Grant has still been surprisingly efficient while taking more of a back seat offensively to point guard Damian Lillard. In 14 appearances this month, Grant is converting at a 49.7 percent clip from the field and an 82 percent clip from the free-throw line.
