Late addition to injury report Ayton is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right index finger sprain.

Impact While the extent of the injury remains unclear, Ayton was a late addition to the injury report, which isn't a good sign for his availability Tuesday night. If Ayton is sidelined, rookie Donovan Clingan may draw his first start, while Robert Williams, who recently made his season debut, could be in store for extra minutes. Duop Reath could also enter Portland's rotation.

Productive off bench once again Banton accumulated 13 points (4-18 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 20 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to Memphis.

Impact Banton owns one of the highest point-per-minute-played rates in the NBA, and he didn't need a lot of time to make his presence felt -- although it was in another blowout defeat. Banton is averaging 12.0 points on 13.5 minutes per game across six appearances in November.

Puts up 20 points in blowout loss Grant notched 20 points (7-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to Memphis.

Impact The Trail Blazers looked drastically overmatched in this blowout loss to the Grizzlies, and Grant was one of the few Portland players who delivered a relatively decent performance. His 20 points led the team, and this was the third time he reached the 20-point mark in his six outings in November.

Woeful in loss to Memphis Simons registered four points (2-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Simons had his worst game of the season Sunday, and even though his numbers had been trending in the wrong direction of late, he reached a new low in this one, missing seven of his nine shots and failing to do much in other categories. Simons should remain one of the Trail Blazers' most reliable options on offense, however, and he'll aim to bounce back when facing the Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Strong showing off bench Friday Henderson finished Friday's 127-102 loss to the Timberwolves with 16 points (6-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact Henderson has been relatively inconsistent as a scoring weapon coming off the bench for the Blazers, failing to reach the 10-point mark in four of his 10 appearances. The nature of that role, especially in a rebuilding team, limits his upside considerably. During those 10 appearances, Henderson is averaging 12.5 points and 4.5 assists per game, although he's only shooting 40.9 percent from the field and 26.7 percent from deep.

Swats three shots Friday Grant recorded 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's 127-102 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Grant had a rough showing Friday, as he had to battle with Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt, and that limited his capacity to make an impact in the scoring column -- the area in which he thrives the most. Grant has failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his last seven outings, averaging 14.4 points and shooting just 35.8 percent from the field in that span.
