DRAFT PICKS
Dalano Banton - Starting Sunday
Banton will start at point guard in Sunday's season finale in Sacramento.
Impact
With Scoot Henderson (hip) sidelined, Banton will be inserted in the starting lineup. He has averaged 18.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.6 assists across 33.1 minutes in eight games as a starter.

Jabari Walker - Won't play Sunday
Walker (knee) is inactive Sunday versus Sacramento.
Impact
Walker's second season will end with 72 appearances, in which the 6-foot-8 forward averaged 8.9 points and 7.1 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per night. His shooting remains a swing factor of his future viability to step into a larger role, as Walker connected on just 29.5 percent of 1.9 threes per game this season.

Anfernee Simons - Officially out for finale
Simons (knee) will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Kings.
Impact
No surprise here, as Simons has not played since March 22 and was deemed doubtful prior to the game. He will finish the season with career-high averages of 22.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 3.4 triples across 34.4 minutes per game. The 24-year-old will now set his sights on the 2024-25 campaign.

Taze Moore - Signs contract with Portland
Moore signed a contract with the Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Impact
Moore signed a contract with Portland on the final day of the regular season and may see minutes during Sunday's finale, as the Trail Blazers have only one nine active players, including Moore. Moore spent most of the season playing for Portland's G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix. He made only four NBA appearances this season, totaling six points in 10 minutes.

Deandre Ayton - Won't play in finale
Ayton (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against Sacramento.
Impact
Ayton will finish his sixth campaign with a career-low 55 appearances. The 25-year-old averaged 16.7 points and 11.1 rebounds in 32.4 minutes per contest when available, but attempting just 1.4 free-throw attempts per game and continuing to have a limited defensive impact loom over Ayton moving forward.

Scoot Henderson - Out against Kings
Henderson (hip) will not play in Portland's regular-season finale in Sacramento.
Impact
With Portland out of playoff contention, Henderson's rookie season has come to an end. It was an up-and-down year for the No. 2 overall pick due to inefficiency and injuries. He will finish with averages of 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 triples across 28.5 minutes in 62 games. The 20-year-old shot 38.5 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Deandre Ayton - Questionable to play Sunday
Ayton (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact
Ayton left Friday's game against the Rockets due to low back soreness, and it remains to be seen whether the big man will be available for the season finale. However, it wouldn't be surprising if the Blazers elect to hold him out, as Portland has nothing to play for Sunday. Ayton heads into the regular-season finale with averages of 16.7 points and 11.1 rebounds per game across 55 starts.

Anfernee Simons - Doubtful to play Sunday
Simons (knee) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Kings.
Impact
Simons hasn't played since March 22, when he lasted just 22 minutes in a 125-117 loss to the Clippers, but there's an outside chance he'll see the court in the final game of the campaign. The Blazers would be wise to hold him out, however, as the team has nothing to play for in the season finale. Simons enters the regular-season finale with averages of 22.6 points, 5.5 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game across 46 starts.

Jabari Walker - Unlikely to play Sunday
Walker (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact
Walker left Friday's game against the Rockets early due to a left knee injury, and it sounds like the Trail Blazers will play it safe for the season finale. With Walker expected to sit out, Justin Minaya is a candidate to step into a larger role.

Matisse Thybulle - Won't suit up Sunday
Thybulle (ankle) will not play Sunday against the Kings.
Impact
Thybulle hasn't played since March 29 due to a right ankle impingement, and now his regular season is officially over. During his first full season with Portland, Thybulle compiled averages of 5.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers across 65 appearances.

Malcolm Brogdon - Out for Sunday
Grant (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Impact
Brogdon's absence streak will extend to 33 games Sunday, and that will end his regular season. In his first campaign with Portland, Brogdon made just 39 appearances, posting averages of 15.7 points, 5.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 2.1 three-pointers.

Scoot Henderson - Pours in 30 pooints during loss
Henderson had 30 points (10-23 FG, 6-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to Houston.
Impact
Although Portland's lost season is a disappointment, the team should be happy with Henderson's progression after naming him Damian Lillard's heir apparent. The team made a four-year, $44M investment in the rookie, and although injuries thwarted him at various points, he finished as one of the league's best freshmen.

Dalano Banton - 28 points in return to action
Banton ended with 28 points (9-26 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Friday's 116-107 loss to Houston.
Impact
Banton is flashiing potential that evaded him during stints with Boston and Toronto, and his resurgent play could allow Portland some flexibility as they make offseason decisions on its roster. The Trail Blazers made a solid investment in Scoot Henderson, but with Banton emerging as a scoring threat, the team may be able to make some deals in the offseason to clear room for him. They could also trade him to a team that needs a proven backcourt option.

Deandre Ayton - Shut down with back injury
Ayton won't return to Friday's game against the Rockets due to low back soreness. He registered six points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes...
Impact
The Blazers will likely turn to Duop Reath and Moses Brown at center with Ayton set to miss the rest of the second half. It's unclear at this time whether Ayton will be available for the regular-season finale Sunday in Sacramento.

Jabari Walker - Won't return Friday
Walker won't return to Friday's game against the Rockets due to a left knee injury. He finished with nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and five rebounds in 14 minutes.
Impact
The Trail Blazers didn't mention any specifics, and the severity of the issue is unclear. But given where Portland is in the standings, they won't be taking any chances. Justin Minaya could see additional minutes in the second half.
