GAME LOG

Nassir Little - Enjoys best game of season Friday Little logged 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes during Friday's 108-106 win over the Suns.
Impact Little came into the game averaging just 5.0 points and 2.1 rebounds across 14.3 minutes per game, so his performance in the upset win was a substantial improvement. The fourth-year forward finished with a season-high 12 points and tied his campaign-best marks in both rebounds and assists. Not coincidentally, this was the first time all season that Little has exceeded 20 minutes in a game, emphasizing his reduced role after averaging 25.9 minutes per contest last season.

Justise Winslow - Nears triple-double in upset win Winslow closed Friday's 108-106 win over the Suns with 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
Impact Winslow started for the first time this season and rose to the occasion with a well-rounded stat line, falling one board and one dime shy of a triple-double. The veteran forward's final assist was an inbounds pass to Jerami Grant that resulted in the game-winning bucket as the clock expired. Winslow hadn't done much prior to Monday despite averaging nearly 25 minutes per contest, so he'll look to build upon this performance moving forward. However, he's unlikely to remain in the starting unit once either of Damian Lillard (calf) or Anfernee Simons (foot) returns to action.

Jerami Grant - Blossoms for season-high 30 points Grant recorded 30 points (10-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one block across 39 minutes during Friday's 108-106 victory over the Suns.
Impact With both Damian Lillard (calf) and Anfernee Simons (foot) unable to play, Grant took over as Portland's offensive centerpiece and led the Blazers to an upset victory. Among his 10 field-goal makes was the game-winner at the buzzer on an inbounds pass from Justise Winslow. This was Grant's first 30-point performance as a Blazer, and he also notched a season-high five assists in the victory.

Justise Winslow - Starting Friday Winslow will start Friday's game against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact With Damian Lillard (calf) and Anfernee Simons (foot) sidelined, Winslow will make his first start of the season at point guard. Winslow is averaging 6.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 24.5 minutes per game, but he figures to have increased production while operating as a primary playmaker against Phoenix.

Anfernee Simons - Won't play Friday Simons (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.
Impact Simons will miss his first game of the season Friday due to left foot inflammation. With Damian Lillard (calf) also sidelined, the bulk of Portland's backcourt responsibilities will likely fall on Shaedon Sharpe and Josh Hart, while Keon Johnson could also be in the mix for increased minutes.
NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trendon Watford - Downgraded to out Watford (hip) won't play in Friday's game versus the Suns.
Impact Watford was previously listed as doubtful for Friday's contest due to a hip flexor strain. The rookie big man has yet to make his NBA debut and will have to wait until at least Saturday against the Suns to do so.

Anfernee Simons - Questionable vs. Suns Simons is questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix due to left foot inflammation, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Impact Coming off a 31-point performance in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, it appears Simons' status for Friday's matchup with the Suns is up in the air due to a foot issue. With Damian Lillard (calf) already ruled out for the contest, Shaedon Sharpe would be in line for an even bigger workload if Simons is forced to miss his first game of the season.
NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trendon Watford - Doubtful Friday Watford (hip) is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Watford has been held out of the entirety of the young 2022-23 campaign due to a hip flexor strain, but he is listed as doubtful for Friday. Although he may not be likely to suit up, being listed as doubtful is an encouraging sign nevertheless.
NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Damian Lillard - Remains out Friday Lillard (calf) will not make his return Friday against the Suns, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact The Trail Blazers are hopeful that Lillard will return at some point during their six-game road trip. However, his return will not come Friday. With that being said, Friday's tilt is the first half of a back-to-back set, so Lillard will have another chance to see the floor Saturday in a rematch with the Suns.
NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Hart - All-around performance in loss Hart posted five points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 40 minutes in Wednesday's 111-106 to the Grizzlies.
Impact Hart is not a volume scorer, averaging 9.7 points in 36.4 minutes through the first seven games. However, his defense and rebounding (8.7 per game) have ensured that he maintains a crucial role for the Trail Blazers.
NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Keon Johnson - Tallies 10 points in loss Johnson ended with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 loss to Memphis.
Impact Johnson led Portland's bench with 10 points and two triples in 18 minutes. This was his first time hitting double-digit points this season. Johnson is averaging 5.8 points and 2.8 boards across 13.3 minutes in four games so far in 2022-23.
NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jusuf Nurkic - Posts double-double in loss Nurkic finished with 23 points (8-14 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 loss to the Grizzlies.
Impact Nurkic was dominant in the first half, posting 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting while corralling six rebounds. He slowed down a bit as a scorer after halftime but still finished with his second straight double-double. Nurkic's scoring has been inconsistent this season, but his rebounding hasn't -- he's pulled down at least seven boards in each of Portland's first seven contests and is tied for third in the league with 12.3 rebounds per game.
NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Anfernee Simons - Paces Portland with 31 points Simons closed with 31 points (10-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 111-106 loss to Memphis.
Impact With Damian Lillard (calf) out of the lineup again, Simons took over the lead role on offense and poured in a game-high 31 points. He also led the Blazers with eight dimes and four triples. Simons has scored 29 or more points in three of his past four contests, and he's averaging 22.0 points, 3.9 dimes, 2.4 boards and 3.7 three-pointers on the campaign.
