Blazers get quick rematch with Nikola Jokic, NuggetsThe Portland Trail Blazers, young and short-handed, still put up a fight on the road in a losing cause against the Denver Nuggets on Friday...
Julian Strawther - Sent to G LeagueStrawther was assigned to the Nuggets G League affiliate Grand Rapids Gold on Saturday, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.
ImpactAfter missing nearly a month of action with a sprained and bruised right knee, Strawther was finally cleared for action Friday. While it's unclear how long he'll be with the Gold, it's likely to be multiple games as he works his way back into game shape.

Jerami Grant - Questionable versus DenverGrant (back) is questionable to play versus Denver on Sunday.
ImpactGrant was a late scratch against Denver on Friday and has been dealing with back issues for roughly a week. Toumani Camara started in his place Friday and produced 10 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one block in 24 minutes.

Peyton Watson - Back on injury reportWatson (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against Portland.
ImpactWatson also carried a probable designation into Friday's contest, so his appearance on the injury report isn't a big surprise. The team should have official word on his status closer to tipoff.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Should go vs. BlazersCaldwell-Pope (finger) is officially probable for Sunday's game against Portland.
ImpactCaldwell-Pope suffered a dislocated right pinky finger during Friday night's contest, but it doesn't look as though the injury will force him to miss any additional time. He'll likely test the finger in warmups before the team makes a final decision on his availability.

Anfernee Simons - Pours in 29 points during lossSimons notched 29 points (11-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 120-108 loss to the Nuggets.
ImpactPortlands's backcourt shifted into high gear to account for Jerami Grant's absence as Simons and Scoot Henderson has excellent showings in the defeat. The Trail Blazers utilized a three-guard combo anchored by Deandre Ayton for most of the game, and Simons only took a seat twice over 37 minutes. Although his numbers have jumped around a bit, he's averaged 23.5 points, 5.8 assists and 3.5 rebounds since a one-game absence two weeks ago.
