Inactive Thursday Rupert won't play in Thursday's game against the Timberwolves due to a sprained right ankle.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Rupert hasn't appeared in an NBA contest since Jan. 29 and has made just three appearances for Portland since Jan. 14.

Shows up with 16 points in loss Banton totaled 16 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Blanton had his best scoring total of the season in the loss and has logged more than 20 minutes for two consecutive games. The Nebraska product failed to catch on in Toronto and Boston, but he's finds himself in the best possible position with a team focused on a youth-based rebuild. Blanton isn't relevant as a fantasy target yet, but he will see more minutes if Portland's injury-riddled roster continues to be an issue.

Collects nine assists in return Henderson logged 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound and nine assists in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Henderson and Anfernee Simons were back in action during Tuesday's loss, and after a poor showing from Matisse Thybulle, Henderson may find his way back into the starting lineup. His nine assists led the team, and he showed no ill effects from the foot injury that forced him to miss two games.

Returns with 20 points in loss Simons logged 20 points (6-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 32 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Simons was a welcome addition to the starting lineup amid the rash if backcourt injuries. Although Simons converted four three-pointers, he only shot 31.5 percent from the floor and may need a game or two to get back on track. Simons and the rest of the backcourt will get extra time to heal during the All-Star break.
