Dennis Smith Jr. - Available Friday Smith (ankle) is available for Friday's matchup against the Celtics, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.
Impact As expected, Smith will appear in an 11th straight game. During this stretch, he's averaged 6.7 points, 3.6 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 18.2 minutes.

Nassir Little - Available against Boston Little (knee) is available for Friday's game against Boston, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Little sustained a knee injury during Wednesday's game against the Heat, but he'll be back in action without missing any additional time. Since Norman Powell (personal) is unavailable once again, Little will likely draw another start.

NBA odds: Championship futures for every team after Kevin Durant's injury
With Kevin Durant suffering an injury, the race for the NBA title is wide open. Let's take a look at the futures odds for every team.JANUARY 21, 2022
Nassir Little - Questionable Friday Little (knee) is questionable for Friday's game at Boston, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Little played only 12 minutes due to the injury Wednesday against the Heat and was diagnosed with right knee acute patellar tendinopathy, with X-rays coming back negative. The 21-year-old is in line for anther start if available Friday since Norman Powell (personal) remains unavailable.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Dennis Smith Jr. - Probable Friday Smith (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics, Blazers studio host Jamie Hudson reports.
Impact Smith is still nursing a sprained right ankle, but chances are he'll play through it once again, as he did in Wednesday night's loss to Miami, which he finished with five points in 13 minutes. While Smith has played double-digit minutes in 10 straight games, he remains a low-upside fantasy asset.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Norman Powell - Remains out Friday Powell (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Impact Powell hasn't suited up since Jan. 8 due to a combination of the league's health and safety protocols and personal reasons. His next chance to return will be Sunday against Toronto, while Nassir Little (ankle) could enter the starting lineup once again Friday.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Larry Nance Jr. - Will sit again Friday Nance (knee) will not play Friday against the Celtics, Blazers studio host Jamie Hudson reports.
Impact This will be eight straight absences for Nance, who continues to battle inflammation in his right knee. He hasn't appeared overly close to returning at any point in the last two weeks, but the team looks to be handling his status on a game-by-game basis.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Cody Zeller - Remains out Friday Zeller (knee) will not play Friday against the Celtics, Blazers studio host Jamie Hudson reports.
Impact Zeller continues to deal with a sore right knee and will miss a fifth straight game. It remains unclear when he may return to game action.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Jusuf Nurkic - Another double-double Nurkic contributed 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-8 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 loss to Miami.
Impact Nurkic was efficient on both ends of the court and was one of Portland's best players despite the loss. The big man missed three games in late December after being placed in the league's health and safety protocols, but he's been impressive of late with seven double-doubles over his last nine games since then -- including one in each of his last three contests. Nurkic is averaging 16.6 points and 13.2 rebounds per game in that nine-game span.

Nassir Little - X-rays on knee negative Portland head coach Chauncey Billups relayed after Wednesday's 104-92 loss to the Heat that Little underwent X-rays on his right knee, which returned negative, Jay Allen of NBC Spo...
Impact The Trail Blazers still held Little out for the entire second half of the contest with an injury the team is labeling as right knee acute patellar tendinopathy. Before exiting, Little posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound and one block in 12 minutes. Tony Snell opened the second half with the starters in his stead, but Norman Powell (personal) could join the top unit if he's available to play Friday in Boston and if Little is sidelined with the injury.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Robert Covington - Double-double despite shooting woes Covington closed Wednesday's 104-92 loss to the Heat with 11 points (3-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one block in 38 minutes.
Impact Covington might have ended with a double-double and solid shooting numbers, but he struggled from the field from a shooting perspective. It's worth noting Covington has been embracing a bigger role on offense of late and has attempted 10 or more shots in each of his last four appearances. He's averaging 10.8 points per game but is also shooting just 34.1 percent from the field in that span, though.
JANUARY 20, 2022 โข ROTOWIRE
Anfernee Simons - Shines despite loss Wednesday Simons notched 27 points (9-18 FG, 6-14 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 104-92 loss to the Heat.
Impact Simons was one of Portland's best players once again and the speedy guard continues to thrive with Damian Lillard (abdomen) sidelined. Embracing a bigger load on offense and taking control of the playmaking has done wonders for the four-year pro, who is averaging 26.3 points per game since moving into the starting lineup eight games ago.
