Will start with no restrictions Henderson will start Monday's game against the Bulls and won't face any restrictions, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Henderson will start for the third time over Portland's last five games. Across his last five appearances, the rookie point guard has averaged 10.2 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 25.2 minutes per game, but he should eclipse 30 minutes versus the Bulls.

Out Monday as expected Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls, Cody Westerlund of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact As expected, Grant has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a fourth straight game. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Clippers, but it's unclear how close he is to playing again.

Will remain out Monday Brogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Brogdon hasn't played since Feb. 2 due to right elbow tendinitis. He's increased his workload during recent workouts and continues to trend in the right direction, but he doesn't have a clear return timetable. In Brogdon's absence, Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton should continue to see elevated usage.

Questionable for Monday Thybulle (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Thybulle may miss a second straight game due to right ankle soreness. While he's not a prolific scorer by any means, Thybulle has made a fantasy impact, especially in category leagues, averaging 2.6 steals and 0.8 blocks per game over his last 16 appearances.

Doubtful for Monday Grant (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Bulls.

Impact Grant will likely miss a fourth straight game and the seventh over Portland's last nine games. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Clippers, but the team has yet to provide a return timetable for the veteran forward.

Posts 10 points in return Walker (hip) tallied 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and five rebounds across 17 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 126-107 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Back in action after missing Portland's previous five games with right hip inflammation, Walker recaptured a role in the rotation and finished a minus-12 during his time on the court. The Trail Blazers were without Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Matisse Thybulle (ankle) on Saturday, so Walker may be more likely to see his playing time decline than increase if both injured players are able to return to action in the near future.

Scores team-high 28 points Banton closed with 28 points (10-20 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block over 42 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Banton continues to impress, playing a much larger role than anyone could have envisaged, even a month ago. He has scored double-digits in nine of the past 10 games, three of those performances landing at least 25 points. While there is no guarantee this sticks moving forward, Banton needs to be rostered right now, even in standard leagues.

Nails five triples in return Simons chipped in 25 points (9-18 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and eight assists in 36 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Simons hit the ground running after missing the previous game due to a knee injury, tallying 25 points including five triples. Despite the loss, managers have to be thrilled that Simons only missed one game, that game being on the second night of a back-to-back. While this does indicate he could miss another few games before the season is done, there has been no sign of a shut-down at this period.

Fails to score Saturday Murray amassed zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-107 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Murray played 26 minutes as a starter but failed to contribute a single point. Despite playing a meaningful role on a consistent basis of late, Murray simply doesn't do enough to be considered a viable asset outside of deeper formats.

Back to bench role Banton is not in the starting lineup to face the Pelicans on Saturday

Impact Banton will head back to the bench with the return of Anfernee Simons. He's averaging just 4.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game when playing off the bench, so his fantasy upside certainly takes a hit if he's not starting.
