Three points, three assists in return Banton (hip) finished with three points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three assists and one rebound across 13 minutes Monday in the Trail Blazers' 132-108 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Banton had missed the Trail Blazers' previous two games with a left hip contusion. He took back a spot in head coach Chauncey Billups' rotation in his return, but Banton's playing time will likely be limited while all of Anfernee Simons, Shaedon Sharpe and Scoot Henderson are available out of the backcourt.

Posts solid numbers in backcourt Henderson chipped in 14 points (4-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 132-108 loss to the Mavericks.
Impact Henderson was a valuable reservist amid mediocre results from Anfernee Simons and Shaedon Sharpe. Although Simons and Sharpe are locked into first-unit roles, the former first-round pick is proving his worth as a backup. The youngster skipped college and went pro right out of high school, and his coronation as Damian Lillard's heir apparent was a bit premature. He's a key piece of Portland's future plans, but he's only on the cusp of fantasy consideration as he develops with the second unit.

Flirts with double-double in loss Ayton racked up 16 points (8-11 FG), nine rebounds and two steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 132-108 loss to Dallas.
Impact Although Ayton failed to exceed the double-double threshold, he's averaged 15 points and 10 rebounds since returning from a two-game absence. Ayton has missed nine games due to a finger injury and an illness, but the Trail Blazers managed a 4-5 record without his contribution. The team will need consistent nights from Ayton as they struggle to stay relevant in the Western Conference.

Leads with 19 points from bench Avdija recorded 19 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-108 loss to Dallas.
Impact Mediocre evenings from Shaedon Sharpe, Anfernee Simons and Jerami Grant forced Avdija to carry a heavier load, and the team rode the hot hand as they tried to keep pace with the Mavericks. Aside from a six-point hiccup against the Jazz, Avdija has enjoyed a productive December, averaging 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists over nine games.

Available to play Monday Banton (hip) is available for Monday's game against the Mavericks, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Impact Banton will return after a two-game absence, and he should add another scoring threat off the bench for the Blazers. Even though he doesn't play enough to be a reliable fantasy option in most formats, Banton averages 9.8 points while logging just 16.7 minutes per contest.

Won't play Monday against Mavs Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Dallas, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.
Impact Williams has played in the Blazers' last three games after missing the prior seven contests due to a concussion. The ankle injury is a new one, and it will force him to observe Monday's game in street clothes. Williams' next opportunity to play will be against the Jazz on Thursday. Williams' absence opens the door for Donovan Clingan, Jabari Walker and Deni Avdija to see more minutes off the bench behind Jerami Grant and Deandre Ayton.
