Impact Although Badji is expected to be available, the Trail Blazers are also expected to get Deandre Ayton (knee) back which could potentially push him out of the rotation.

Probable for Wednesday Badji (hip) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Good to go Wednesday Thybulle (illness) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's game versus the Nets.
Impact Thybulle will return to action Wednesday after missing Portland's previous contest with a non-COVID illness. Thybulle is averaging 3.8 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 16.4 minutes across his last five appearances.

Available to play Grant (illness) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Impact Grant was limited at Tuesday's practice, but the Trail Blazers were likely taking it easy on the veteran. He's not on the official injury report and is on track to be in the lineup Wednesday. Grant has struggled in his last two appearances with averages of 11.0 points on a combined 8-of-25 shooting.

Probable for Wednesday Ayton (knee) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Impact The probable tag comes as no surprise, as Ayton was able to practice Tuesday. Coach Chauncey Billups also expressed optimism that Ayton would be back in the lineup. With Ayton on track to return from an 11-game absence, Duop Reath will likely move back to the bench where his fantasy value could trend down.

Practices Wednesday Grant (illness) was a partial participant at Tuesday's practice, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Grant was sidelined in Sunday's loss to Phoenix due to an illness. He appears to still be working back to full health giving his limited activity at practice.

Impact Ayton continues to battle right knee tendonitis, but he appears to be on the mend. The 25-year-old returning to action would signal a sizable drop in workload for Duop Reath, but Ayton's return is not yet set in stone.

Blazers' Shaedon Sharpe out with lower abdominal strain The second-year guard, who is averaging 15.9 points per game, will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
JANUARY 16 β’ OREGONLIVE.COM
To be re-evaluated in two weeks Sharpe (thigh) will be re-evaluated in two weeks after further testing showed a lower abdominal strain, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Sharpe has missed two straight games after aggravating a pre-existing injury, and he'll be shut down for at least the next two weeks following this latest update. Look for Malcolm Brogdon (groin) and Matisse Thybulle (illness) to pick up additional opportunities in Sharpe's absence, assuming they're able to return to health.

Scores 17 points Sunday Reath supplied 17 points (7-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Suns.
Impact Reath has started in each of Portland's last six games, and while he is not one of the team's go-to players on offense, he has found a way to score in double digits in four of those contests. Reath will probably remain a starter until Deandre Ayton (knee) is ready to return, which might happen Wednesday against the Nets.

Goes for 28 points in loss Simons closed Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Suns with 28 points (8-18 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and five assists across 41 minutes.
Impact Simons was coming off three straight games in which he failed to reach the 15-point mark, but he bounced back admirably here and delivered his eighth game of the campaign with 28 or more points. Simons has struggled with consistency of late, and the team's overall struggles have played a part in that, but he remains one of Portland's most reliable fantasy alternatives due to his scoring prowess, even if he hasn't been very efficient in recent weeks.

Scores career-best 33 points Henderson finished Sunday's 127-116 loss to the Suns with 33 points (11-31 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 40 minutes.
Impact Henderson has had a rough start to his NBA career -- at least considering the expectations that carry with being the second overall pick in the draft -- but this was his best outing of the season by a wide margin. This 33-point outing was a season-high mark for the rookie, and Henderson is averaging 16.0 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game in 10 appearances since moving back to the first unit.
