Available for Thursday Rupert (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against New York.

Starting against Knicks Henderson will start Thursday's game against the Knicks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Anfernee Simons (knee) is taking the night off, but coach Chauncey Billups expects him back for Saturday's game against the Pelicans. As a starter this season, Henderson holds averages of 13.6 points, 5.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers.

Ruled out for Thursday Simons (knee) will not play in Thursday's game versus the Knicks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Simons will sit out his first game since Feb. 10, but coach Chauncey Billups implied that the Trail Blazers are just erring on the side of caution for the second leg of this back-to-back set. Simons played 43 minutes Wednesday against the Hawks, finishing with 36 points (10-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal. Scoot Henderson will draw the start in Simons' place.

Added to injury report Rupert is probable for Thursday's game against New York due to right ankle soreness.
Impact Rupert was dealing with right ankle soreness prior to Wednesday's victory over Atlanta, but he did not take the court despite being cleared for action. The rookie appears firmly on track to be activated, but there is no guarantee he'll feature in Portland's rotation Thursday, even with Jerami Grant (hamstring) and Jabari Walker (hip) inactive.
MARCH 14 โข ROTOWIRE
Won't play Thursday Walker (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks.
Impact Thursday will mark the fifth straight game on the sidelines for Walker, and with Jerami Grant (hamstring) joining him on the inactive list, guys like Toumani Camara, Matisse Thybulle and Dalan Banton will get all the run they can handle. Walker's next chance to play will come Saturday in New Orleans.
MARCH 14 โข ROTOWIRE
Out again Thursday Grant (hamstring) will not play in Thursday's game against the Knicks, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact A hamstring injury continues to bother Grant, making Thursday his fifth absence in seven games. Toumani Camara, Kris Murray and Dalano Banton remain strong candidates to see increased roles in Grant's absence.
MARCH 14 โข ROTOWIRE
Questionable for Thursday Simons is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Knicks due to left knee tendinitis.
Impact Simons is in danger of missing his first game since Feb. 10 on Thursday due to a left knee injury. If Simons is ruled out, Scoot Henderson and Dalano Banton are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Scores season-high 33 points Ayton had 33 points (15-20 FG, 3-4 FT), 19 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Anfernee Simons led the way for the Trail Blazers in the scoring column, but Ayton was massive on both ends of the court and delivered his best performance of the campaign. The 33 points were a season-high mark for him, and it was also the fourth time he grabbed 19 or more boards -- with two of those coming during the current month. Ayton is averaging 21.4 points and 13.8 rebounds across his last 10 appearances.

Struggles badly despite win Henderson registered two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 17 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 win over the Hawks.
Impact The Trail Blazers came out on top Wednesday, but Henderson had another woeful performance, and the rookie continues to alternate good performances with some really poor ones. The play of other rookies from this class has done nothing but single out Henderson's struggles even more, and it's safe to say he hasn't lived up to his status of being the third overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He's averaging 13.0 points and 4.8 assists, though shooting a mere 37.5 percent from the field, since the beginning of January, a span in which he's also missed 10 games due to injuries.

Explodes for 36 points in win Simons contributed 36 points (10-23 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 11-11 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 43 minutes during Wednesday's 106-102 victory over the Hawks.
Impact Simons reached the 30-point mark for the third time this month, and he continues to prove he can carry the team offensively when the situation calls for it. Simons has been on a tear lately and has been averaging 24.9 points, 6.9 assists and 4.8 rebounds per game since the beginning of March.
