Jerami Grant Jerami Grant (calf) scores 16 off bench in return
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 7:19 PM
Jerami Grant tallied 16 points (5-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, one block and four three-pointers in Tuesday's win over the Suns.
Analysis: Grant took the floor for the first time since late March and provided some huge moments on both ends of the floor during the fourth quarter. The veteran forward hit two massive three-pointers with under three minutes remaining, made a big defensive stop on Jordan Goodwin's game-tying putback attempt with seconds left, and then provided a punctuation-mark dunk on the other end to punch Portland's ticket to the playoffs. Grant was one of two Trail Blazers to make four three-pointers on the evening. He'll likely play an important role in the first-round series against the Spurs. |

Jrue Holiday Jrue Holiday tallies 21 points in win over Phoenix
Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 7:08 PM
Jrue Holiday amassed 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and four three-pointers in the win over the Suns on Tuesday.
Analysis: Holiday logged 38 minutes in the win and provided much-needed scoring for the Blazers. The two-time NBA champion drained four three-pointers, including a big one down the stretch of the fourth quarter, to help keep Portland within striking distance. He didn't compile many other counting stats, yet his veteran presence in clutch time helped Portland come from behind and secure a playoff spot. The Trail Blazers will face San Antonio in the opening round. |

Tue, Apr 14, 2026, 7:02 PM
Deni Avdija tallied 41 points (15-of-22 FGs, 8-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and three three-pointers in the win over the Suns on Tuesday.
Analysis: Avdija was everything the Blazers needed down the stretch to mount a come-from-behind win. The first-time All-Star repeatedly got to the rim throughout the fourth quarter and ultimately scored the go-ahead layup with 16.1 seconds remaining. He finished with game-highs in points and assists while leading the Blazers from 11 points down midway through the final frame to mount a comeback that would secure them the seventh seed in the playoffs. Portland will face San Antonio in the opening round. |

Jerami Grant (calf) is available to play against the Suns on Tuesday.
Analysis: The Trail Blazers will reintegrate the veteran forward on Tuesday as they look to punch their ticket to the playoffs. Grant played in 57 of the 82 regular-season games for Portland, with a calf injury costing him the last seven games. He's averaging 18.6 points per game thus far and will likely play a big role for the team in his return. |

Jerami Grant Jerami Grant (calf) questionable Tuesday vs. Suns
Mon, Apr 13, 2026, 2:13 PM
Jerami Grant (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's Play-In game against the Suns.
Analysis: Grant hasn't played since March 27 as he's dealt with a calf strain. The 32-year-old power forward is questionable, which at least gives him a chance of suiting up for Tuesday's game against the Suns. If Grant is out again, Scoot Henderson should start again for the Trail Blazers. |

Jrue Holiday Jrue Holiday has 23 points, seven boards in win
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 5:14 PM
Jrue Holiday had 23 points (8-of-18 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Kings.
Analysis: Holiday wasn't particularly efficient, but still had a nice game in the non-shooting categories. The 35-year-old guard is just outside the top-100 in per game value this season. Holiday added one block on the defensive end, which is where he could have his biggest impact for the Trail Blazers in the Play-In Tournament. |

Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 5:05 PM
Deni Avdija had 25 points (9-of-19 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), six rebounds, 10 assists and five three-pointers in the Trail Blazers' 122-110 victory over the Kings on Sunday.
Analysis: Avdija finished the regular season with another excellent game in the win over the Kings on Sunday. The 25-year-old power forward was just four rebounds shy of a triple-double. Avdija also had 25 points and five three-pointers. He finished the season in the top-80 in per game value and will lead Portland as they head into the Play-In tournament. |

Sean Highkin
Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is available to play against the Kings on Sunday.
Analysis: Thybulle was listed as probable and has now officially been cleared to suit up. He has played a reserve role recently, which has led to plenty of defensive production over the past couple of weeks. |

Sean Highkin
VÃt Krej?Ã (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Krej?Ã will be available for the first time in nearly a month. His playing time will be limited as the Trail Blazers go through the process of ramping up the wing's minutes. |

Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 5:56 PM
NBA Injury Report
VÃt Krej?Ã (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Krej?Ã was also listed as questionable ahead of Friday's win over the Clippers before being ruled out. And even if he can play on Sunday, playing time is likely to be scarce with Shaedon Sharpe making his return on Friday after missing time with a fibula injury. |

Matisse Thybulle Matisse Thybulle (ankle) probable vs. Sacramento
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 5:53 PM
NBA Injury Report
Matisse Thybulle (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Thybulle sprained his right ankle during the first half of Friday's win over the Clippers but returned after halftime. The probable tag suggests that he'll be cleared to play in a game that the Trail Blazers need to win to secure the No. 8 seed in the West. A loss combined with a Clippers win over the Warriors would drop Portland to the No. 9 seed. |

Deni Avdija Deni Avdija drops 35 points in win over Clippers
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 6:36 PM
Deni Avdija had 35 points (11-of-19 FGs, 12-of-13 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in the Trail Blazers' 116-97 victory over the Clippers on Friday.
Analysis: Towards the end of a season where he dealt with a back injury, Avdija is finishing strong with at least 26 points in each of his last five games. His 35 points were a game-high in the victory over the Clippers on Friday. Avdija provided eighth-round per game value this season, which could've been even better if not for his struggles with turnovers. |

Matisse Thybulle (foot) is available to return to Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Thybulle tweaked something in his right foot before limping to the locker room in the first half.

Analysis: Thybulle was everywhere on defense with three steals and two blocks in nine minutes off the bench in the first half, but tweaked something in his right foot and came up limping.

Vit Krejci VÃt Krej?Ã (calf) remains out vs. Clippers
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 2:26 PM
Casey Holdahl
VÃt Krej?Ã (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: It has been nearly a month since Krej?Ã last appeared in a game, and he remains out on Friday. With Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) making his return, there will be even fewer minutes available to Krej?Ã whenever he's cleared to return. |
|
Shaedon Sharpe Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) upgraded to available
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 2:23 PM
Casey Holdahl
Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) is available for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Sharpe is available for the first time since February 2. Given the amount of time missed, his minutes are likely to be restricted. Sidy Cissoko may fall out of the rotation entirely since Sharpe is available. |

Shaedon Sharpe Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) questionable vs. Clippers
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 2:40 PM
NBA Injury Report
Shaedon Sharpe (fibula) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Inactive since February 2 with a stress reaction in his left fibula, Sharpe is the closest that he's been to returning to action. If he can play on Friday, the athletic wing is likely to be under a minutes restriction as he improves his conditioning. |

Vit Krejci VÃt Krej?Ã (calf) questionable vs. Clippers
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 2:36 PM
NBA Injury Report
VÃt Krej?Ã (calf) is questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Krej?Ã has not appeared in a game since March 15. With the Trail Blazers still awaiting Jerami Grant's return from a calf injury, there may be a few more minutes available if Krej?Ã returns on Friday. However, he won't be worth the risk in active fantasy leagues. |

Jerami Grant Jerami Grant (calf) remains out vs. Clippers
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 2:31 PM
NBA Injury Report
Jerami Grant (calf) is out for Friday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Grant will miss a sixth straight game as he continues to recover from a strained calf. Scoot Henderson has moved into the starting lineup, which has raised his ceiling in active fantasy leagues. |

Scoot Henderson Scoot Henderson tallies 20 points, full stat line
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 6:09 PM
Scoot Henderson amassed 20 points (7-of-20 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Henderson has scored in double figures in five straight and nine of his last ten appearances. However, he has shot just 40.6 percent from the field during this stretch. That, especially the three-point shooting, is an area where Henderson will need to make strides ahead of the 2026-27 season. And with Damian Lillard (Achilles) re-entering the fray, getting the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball will become more challenging for Henderson. |
