Unlikely to play Monday Grant (quadriceps) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Grant is unlikely to play Monday after experiencing right quadricep soreness during Saturday's overtime win over Memphis. Matisse Thybulle (hip) is questionable, so Portland's wing depth may be tested if both forwards are downgraded to out.

Iffy for Monday Ayton (hand) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Ayton is in danger of missing a third straight game, but he was listed as doubtful ahead of the last two matchups, so his questionable tag suggests he's making at least slight progress in his rehab. Regardless, if Ayton is ruled out again, Duop Reath would likely draw another start.

Dealing with hip soreness Thybulle is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves due to left hip soreness.
Impact Thybulle is in danger of missing his first game since Jan. 14. With Jerami Grant (quadriceps) doubtful, Portland's wing depth may be tested if both forwards are downgraded to out.

Remains out, still no timetable Brogdon (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Brogdon hasn't played since Feb. 2 due to right elbow tendinitis. He can still be considered week-to-week, barring another update. The Trail Blazers announced the veteran was making good progress at the end of February, but he doesn't have a clear return timeline.

Second consecutive double-double Walker chipped in 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime win over the Grizzlies.
Impact Walker notched his seventh double-double of the season Saturday, and perhaps surprisingly, this is the fourth time he has reached that feat while coming off the bench. The second-year big man out of Colorado has struggled with consistency in his sophomore season, but he's experiencing progress compared to his rookie year, and his season-long stats have also reflected that uptick in play. Walker is averaging 8.9 points and 6.9 rebounds per game since the beginning of February.

Best outing of season Saturday Hagans had 13 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime victory over the Grizzlies...
Impact Hagans signed a two-way contract with the Trail Blazers in late February and has looked impressive since then, increasing his minutes with each passing game and delivering his best performance of the campaign in this overtime win. Indeed, Hagans posted season-best marks in minutes played, points, rebounds, assists and steals, while also ending just two dimes short of a double-double. The nature of his bench role limits his fantasy upside, but Hagans is at least showing he deserves a role in Portland's rotation ahead of the final weeks of the regular season.

Hits 30-point mark in OT win Simons had 30 points (10-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds and seven assists across 45 minutes during Saturday's 107-100 overtime victory over Memphis.
Impact Simons came through in a game where the Trail Blazers, as depleted as they were, needed him the most, and the star guard responded by posting his first 30-point performance since Jan. 26. Simons is undoubtedly a proven scorer, but he had been delivering some inconsistent performances of late, failing to surpass the 10-point mark in two of his last five outings since the conclusion of the All-Star break, but reaching the 20-point mark in the other three. During that five-game stretch, Simons is averaging 18.8 points per game while shooting 37.2 percent from the field.

Will not return Saturday Grant will not return to Saturday's game versus Memphis due to right quad soreness. He finished with five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT)
Impact The injury sounds relatively minor, but Portland tends to be cautious with their veterans. With Grant sidelined, Portland could lean more on players such as Jabari Walker and Matisse Thybulle.

Ruled out to face Memphis Ayton (hand) has been ruled out to face the Grizzlies on Saturday.
Impact Ayton was initially listed as doubtful, but he won't be suiting up to face Memphis in a battle of two injury-riddled teams that won't be making the playoffs and are already thinking about next season. Ayton's next chance to play will come against the Timberwolves on Monday.

Deemed doubtful Ayton (hand) is considered doubtful for Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies.
Impact Ayton sprained his hand in Tuesday's game versus the Heat and subsequently missed Friday's matchup with Memphis. He appears to be trending towards another absence in Saturday's rematch with the Grizzlies, but final confirmation on his status is unlikely to come until closer to tipoff. In his absence, Duop Reath figures to again see increased playing time.
